The Swimming Song (Album Version) - Loudon Wainwright, III
Lyrics by:L. Wainwright III
Composed by:L. Wainwright III
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 around
I moved my arms around
This Summer I swam in the ocean
And I swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds chlorine my eyes
I'm a self-destructive fool a self-destructive fool
This Summer I did the backstroke
Can you know that's not all
I did the breast stroke and 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
This Summer I did swan dives
And jackknifes for you all
And once when you weren't looking
I did a cannonball I 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 around
I moved my arms around
