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 Around, I Moved My Arms Around.



2.

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.



3.

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.



4.

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.



5.

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.
