The Swimming Song letra

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 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 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 jackknives 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, I moved my arms around
