This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet Moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I swam in the ocean Swam in a swimming pool Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes I'm a self destructive fool I'm a self destructive fool This summer I did the back stroke And you know that that's not all I did the breast stroke and the butterfly And the old Australian crawl I did the old Australian crawl This summer I swam in a public place And a reservoir to cool 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 cannonball I did a cannonball This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around I moved my arms around
