And you're here!
[G] [G]
Alright, I'm gonna [D] find out if you're really here.
[Em]
This summer [G] I went swimming.
This summer [Em] I might have drowned.
But I held [C] my breath and I kicked [D] my feet
And I moved [Em] my arms around.
[D] I moved [G] my arms around.
This summer I swam in the [D] ocean.
Swam in [Em] a swimming pool.
Solved my wounds, chlorined [D] my eyes.
I'm a self [Em]-destructive [E] fool.
Self [G]-destructive fool.
Yay!
[D] I [Em] think you better clap your hands on this.
Come on.
[C] Hey!
[D] Let's get into it.
[Em] [D] [G]
This summer I did the [D] backstroke.
And you know that [Em] that's not all.
I did the breaststroke and the butterfly.
[D] And the old [Em] Australian crawl.
[D] Old [G] Australian crawl.
This summer I swam in a public [D] place
In a [Em] reservoir to boot.
At the latter [C] I was informal.
[D] At the former [Em] I wore my suit.
[D] I wore [G] my swimming suit.
Clap your hands!
[D] Yay!
[Em]
Yay!
[C] [D] [Em]
[D] [G] This summer I did swan [D] dives
And [Em] jackknives for you all.
But once when [C] you weren't looking
[D] I did a [G] [D] cannonball.
Did a cannonball.
Yeah, this summer [G] I went swimming.
[D] This summer I [Em] might have drowned.
But I held my [C] breath and I kicked my [D] feet
And I moved [Em] my arms around.
[D] I moved [G] my arms.
One more time!
Clap your hands!
[D] [Bm] [C]
[D] [Em] [D] [G]
You clap great!
