Refrain:
Oooh-la-la-la-la-lah (x3) / Ooh-la-la (x5)

There once was a girl who walked on the waves
The stormiest sea would hush when her feet went walking, walking, walking
Then one sunny day, a ship passed her way
And offered her a ride
The girl said "OK," she climbed aboard
And was swallowed up inside (inside, inside)
 

Oooh-la-la-la-la-lah
I'm a girl, I'm a-whirl, I'm a curl on a wave!
Oooh-la-la-la-la-lah
I won't be long in this bird cage.

The ship headed North with dizzying speed
It berthed at a village, rustic and quaint, with seagulls calling, calling
The villagers welcomed her at the bar
And offered her a drink
The girl said "OK," she took a sip
And they had a real good time (good time, good time)
And she sang...
 

Oooh-la-la-la-la-lah
I'm a girl, I'm a-whirl, I'm a curl on a wave!
Oooh-la-la-la-la-lah
I won't stay long in this bird cage.

​

The next time you hear a storm comin'
Just think about that girl on a wave
She'll be waitin', wave-hoppin'
I know you'll catch her with the wind and a sail !
You can catch her with the wind and a sail, singin'...
 

Refrain
 

So who was that girl? We all want to know
She taught me to sing, and dance like the wind--her love was a river flowing
She'd come home from work, and slip off her shoes
And tired though she was
She never complained
She'd put those feet up,
and she'd turn to me and smile (I loved her smile)
As she sang...

​
