The Swimming Song

[ti:The Swimming Song] [ar:Vetiver] [al:Thing of the Past] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] The Swimming Song - Loudon Wainwright III 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 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 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 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 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 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
