The Swimming Song
This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I moved my arms aroundI moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the oceanAnd I swam in a swimming poolSalt my wounds, chlorine my eyesI'm a self-destructive foolI'm a self-destructive fool
This summer I did the backstroke And you know that that's not all I did the breast stroke and the butterfly And the old Australian crawlThe old Australian crawl
This summer I swam in a public place And a reservoir, to bootAt the latter I was informalAt the former I wore my suitI wore my swimming suit, yeah
This summer I did swan dives And jackknifes for you all And once when you weren't looking I did a cannonballI did a cannonball
This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I moved my arms aroundI moved my arms around
