loudon wainwright – 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, 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, i’m a self-destructive fool.
this summer i did the backstroke
and you know that’s not all
i did the breast stroke and the b-tterfly
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 jackknifes 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.
