Do I seem to effervesce?
My baby said maybe, and maybe means yes!
She's a dream to gaze upon,
She's lovely, she's gorgeous, and from now on;

It's oceans of kisses and oceans of love,
And I'm on the crest of a wave!
Red lips that lure me and blue eyes above,
And I'm on the crest of a wave!

Once it was low time, no time, I couldn't win,
But now it's my time, high time, here I come, rolling in
With oceans of kisses and oceans of love,
And I'm on the crest of a wave!

I'm on the crest of a wave!
I'm on the crest of a wave!
I'm on the crest of a wave!
I'm on the crest of a wave!
