This summer I went swimmingnThis summer I might have drownednBut I held my breath and I kicked my feetnAnd I threw my arms aroundnAnd I threw my arms aroundnnThis summer I did the swan divenAnd jack knife for you allnAnd once when you weren't lookingnWell I did a cannon ballnI did a cannon ballnnThis summer I swam in the oceannAnd I swam in a swimming poolnSalt in my wounds, chlorine in my eyesnI'm a self-destructive foolnI'm a self-destructive foolnnThe summer I did the backstrokenAnd you know that that's not allnI did the breaststroke and the butterflynAnd the old Australian crawlnAnd the old Australian crawlnnThis summer I swam in a public placenAnd a reservoir to bootnAt the latter I was informalnAnd the former I wore my suitnYes I wore my swimming suitnnThis summer I went swimmingnThis summer I might have drownednBut I held my breath and I kicked my feetnAnd I threw my arms aroundnAnd I threw my arms around
