The Swimming Song
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
Moved my arms around
I moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean
Swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes
I'm a self destructive fool
I'm a self destructive fool
This summer I did the back stroke
And you know that that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl
I did the old Australian crawl
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir to cool
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 jack knives 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, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around
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
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
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
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
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
I moved my arms around
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
Moved my arms around
I moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean
Swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes
I'm a self destructive fool
I'm a self destructive fool
This summer I did the back stroke
And you know that that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl
I did the old Australian crawl
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir to cool
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 jack knives 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, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around
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
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
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
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
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
I moved my arms around
