Swimming Song

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I held my breath, kicked my feet

And I moved my arms around,

Moved my arms around

This summer I did the backstroke

And you know that that's not all

I did the breaststroke, 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

This summer I did swan-dives

And jack-knives for you all

And once when you weren't looking

I did a cannon-ball

Did a cannon-ball.
