Swimming Song Lyrics - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

This summer I went swimming 

This summer I might have drowned 

But I Held my breath, kicked my feet 

And I moved my arms around, 

Moved my arms around 

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 

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 jack-knifes for you all 

And once when you weren't looking 

I did a cannon-ball 

Did a cannon-ball
