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.
