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
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
Self-destructive fool

This summer I did the backstroke 
And you know that 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, yeah

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
Moved my arms around
