Swimming Song Lyrics

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
Moved my arms around

This summer I swam in the ocean
Then I swam in a swimming poo-ool
Salt my wounds and I cleaned my eyes
I'm a self-destructive fool
Self-destructive fool

This summer I did the backstroke
And you know that 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
In 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 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 and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
Moved my arms around

This summer I went swimming
And I moved my arms around
(These two lines repeated in rounds till end)
