The Swimming Song

() This summer I went swimming This summer I might've 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 pool Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes I'm a self-destructive fool A self-destructive fool (Banjo break) This summer I did the backstroke And you know that that's not all I did the breaststroke, and 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 (Banjo break) 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've drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I moved my arms around Moved my arms around (Fiddle solo)
