Here's Surf Wax America. For all those who don't have the Weezer
album, I highly recommend it, especially if you like Nirvana.

{With intro}

The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxing down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxing down because it's really a blast

"Maybe it's just a coincidence
or maybe she doesn't know what to get;
But why does it seem like every year's
a toolbox Christmas?"
