Ooh, I go swimming, swimming in the water 
Swimming in the river, swimming in the sea 
I go swimming 
I go swimming, swimming in the water 
Swimming in the pool, swimming is cool 
I go swimming 

The sun is burning, I am yearning 
For the water flow (water flow) 
Next to my skin I, like to begin a 
water flow (water flow) 
Letting off steam I float in a dream, 
I can't let go (can't let go) 
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes 
Down below (down below) 
I go swimming 

I need water, water to drink 
Water on my brain, water sustain, 
Water over me 
I want water, water I need 
Water to think, water to drink 
Water over me 

The sun is burning, I am yearning 
For the water flow (water flow) 
Next to my skin I, like to begin a 
water flow (water flow) 
Letting off steam I float in a dream, 
I can't let go (can't let go) 
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes 
Down below (down below) 
I go swimming 

I go swimming, I go swimming 
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water 
Water all over me 
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water 
I go swimming, I go swimming 
I go swimming, I go swimming 
Swimming, I go swimming 
Oh I go swimming, I go swimming 
Water all over me 
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water 
Water all over me 
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water 
Water all over me 
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water 
Water all over me
