The Swimming Song
This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I swam the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
I got salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, I'm a self-destructive fool
This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I swam the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
I got salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, I'm a self-destructive fool
This summer I did the backstroke
And you know that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl, yeah the old Australian crawl.
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir, to boot,
In the latter I was informal,
And in the former I wore my suit, well I wore my swimming suit.
This summer I did swan dives
And duck dives for you all
Once when you weren't looking
I did a cannonball, well I did a cannonball.
Yeah this summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
Yeah this summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I swam the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
I got salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, I'm a self-destructive fool
This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I swam the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
I got salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, I'm a self-destructive fool
This summer I did the backstroke
And you know that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl, yeah the old Australian crawl.
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir, to boot,
In the latter I was informal,
And in the former I wore my suit, well I wore my swimming suit.
This summer I did swan dives
And duck dives for you all
Once when you weren't looking
I did a cannonball, well I did a cannonball.
Yeah this summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
Yeah this summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, well I moved my arms around
