The Swimming Song Lyrics
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, I kicked my feet
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
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
