Lyrics:
[G]This summer I went swimming
[D]This summer I might've d[Em]rowned
[Em]But I held my breath and I [C]kicked my feet
[D]And I moved my arms aro[Em]und
[D]Moved my arms arou[G]nd
This summer I swam in the ocean
Then I swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes
I'm a self-destructive fool
A self-destructive fool
*Banjo break*
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
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
*Banjo break*
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've drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
Moved my arms around
*Fiddle solo*
[End]
