Swimming Song

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Swimming Song [Intro}                        [Verse 1] 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 ’round Moved my arms around [Verse 2] This summer I swam in the ocean Then swam in a swimming pool Salt my wounds chlorine my eyes I’m a self-destructive fool A self-destructive fool [Instrumental]                        [Verse 3] This summer I did the backstroke And you know that that’s not all I did the breaststroke and the butterfly And the old Australian Crawl The old Australian Crawl [Verse 4] 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 [Instrumental]                        [Verse 5] This summer I did swan-dives And jack-knifes for you all And once when you weren’t looking I did a cannonball Did a cannonball [Verse 6] 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 Moved my arms around [Intro}                          (2x)
