Well I'm hoping and I'm praying
And I'm asking and I'm wishing for a surfboard (for Christmas)
But my parents think I'm crazy
Cause we're living in a city filled with snow (surf is frozen)
But what if we win the lottery
And end up with a beach house in Waikiki?
Then I wouldn't have to feel so silly
Asking Santa for a Surfboard (for Christmas)
Not to mention global warming's gonna cover earth in H20
(Sinking Christmas)
The North Pole will be sticking out of the sea
And that's when Santa will turn to me and ask
"Young man, with your board so tight
Won't you guide my boat tonight?"
I know he's real, I've been real good
And what if we wake up and look outside
And see an endless hoard of zombies (on Christmas)?
Well I'd hack 'em and I'd slash 'em
With the freshly sharpened edges of my board (we gotta defeat them)
Well they'd keep coming and coming up out of their graves
And I'll keep cutting and cutting and breaking the waves
So if you wanna live through the holidays
Listen to the kids when you hear them say
Well I'm hoping and I'm praying
And I'm asking and I'm wishing for a surfboard
Well I'm fixing and I'm jonesing
And I'm begging and I'm pining for a surfboard

The Shivas deliver a set of righteous three-chord wonders with a mean streak that will always be to the tastes of a certain doomy subset of ‘60s rock fans. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 29, 2019
