《The Swimming Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Swimming Song - Loudon Wainwright III

[00:00:16] This summer I went swimming,

[00:00:19] This summer I might have drowned

[00:00:22] But I held my breath and I kicked my feet

[00:00:26] And I moved my arms around,

[00:00:30] I moved my arms around.

[00:00:32] This summer I swam in the ocean,

[00:00:35] And I swam in a swimming pool,

[00:00:39] Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,

[00:00:42] I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool.

[00:01:05] This summer I did the backstroke

[00:01:08] And you know that's not all

[00:01:12] I did the breast stroke and the butterfly

[00:01:16] And the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl.

[00:01:22] This summer I swam in a public place

[00:01:25] And a reservoir, to boot,

[00:01:29] At the latter I was informal,

[00:01:32] At the former I wore my suit, I wore my swimming suit.

[00:01:55] This summer I did swan dives

[00:01:59] And jackknifes for you all

[00:02:03] And once when you weren't looking

[00:02:06] I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball.

[00:02:12] This summer I went swimming,

[00:02:15] This summer I might have drowned

[00:02:19] But I held my breath and I kicked my feet

[00:02:22] And I moved my arms around,

[00:02:25] I moved my arms around.
