lyrics

Ol' Santa's coming on a surfboard this year
He's giving time off to the reindeer
A visit to Hawaii has given him a new point of view

Santa's putting on the sun-tan lotion
Arriving by way of the ocean
He's bringing all the presents in a boat that's made of bamboo

He's riding on a wave of clouds in the sky
He shouts "cowabunga" as he passes on by
He wears a red wetsuit because
He's the surfer Santa Claus

Well, Santa's leaving his home in the North Pole
Relocatin' where it isn't so cold
He moved his workshop to an island in the southern sea

All the little elves make their toys at the beach side
While Santa waits around for the low tide
Drinking a piña colada under a palm tree

He brings such joy to the kids of the world
But he's only happy when he's shootin' the curl
He wears a red wetsuit because
He's the surfer Santa Claus

Rudolph likes to fly around
Jack Frost likes to ski
Frosty's always throwin' snowballs
And that's okay with me

Because I want to surf with Santa
I want to have some Christmas fun
Ride the break with the reindeer, hangin' ten
Wearin' sleighbells in the sun

So I'm putting on the sun-tan lotion
Waitin' for Santa by the ocean
He's bringing me presents in a boat that's made of bamboo

He's riding on a wave of clouds in the sky
He shouts "cowabunga" as he passes on by
He wears a red wetsuit because
He's the surfer Santa Claus

He wears a red wetsuit because
He's the surfer Santa Claus
