Swimming Song

Swimming Song - Various Artists

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I Held my breath kicked my feet

And I moved my arms around

Moved my arms around

This summer I swam in the ocean

And I swam in a swimming pool

Salt my wounds chlorined my eyes

I'm a self-destructive fool

Self-destructive fool

This summer I did the back stroke

And you know that that's not all

I did the breast stroke the butterfly

And the old Australian crawl

The old Australian crawl

This summer I swam in a public place

And a reservoir to boot

At the latter I was informal

At the former I wore my suit

I wore my swimming suit

Oh this summer I did swan dives

And jack-knives for you all

And once when you weren't looking

I did a cannon-ball

I did a cannon-ball

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I held my breath I kicked my feet

And moved my arms around

I moved my arms around
