The Swimming Song |
| 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 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 the backstroke |
| And 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 did swan dives |
| And jackknifes for you all |
| And once when you weren’t looking |
| I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball |
