This summer I went swimming,
this summer I might have drowned,
but I held my breath and kicked my feet,
moved my arms around.
I moved my arms around.
This summer I swam in the ocean,
and I swam in a swimming pool.
Salt my wounds, green my eyes,
I'm a self -destructive fool
Self -destructive fool
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 in a reservoir to boot
At the letter I was a performer,
at the former I wore my suit
I wore my swimming suit
This summer I did swan dives
and jackknifes for you all
And once when you weren't
looking I did a cannonball
I all, I didn't kill them all
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and kicked my feet
And moved my arms around
I moved my arms around
you
