Lyrics
All summer long there's only one thing I wanna do
It doesn't cost a dime and you don't have to wear your shoes
It's the best thing happening under the sun
You'll always get wet and you'll always have fun
All summer long there's only one thing I wanna do
Chorus
Come on now, go swimming with me
We'll swim in a pool or we'll swim in the sea
We'll jump in a river or we'll splash in the lake
A hole filled with water is all that it takes
Swim, Swim - Go swimming with me
I went to the pool to meet up with some groovy chicks
I thought that I'd impress them by doin' up some groovy tricks
I slipped and I fell and I banged up my head
I had to spend the day lyin' down in my bed
I went to the pool to meet up with some groovy chicks
Chorus
When I get old I'm gonna keep swimming every day
I won't do any work I'll just go in the water and play
I already look like I'll be old real soon
Cuz I spend all say swimming and I look like a prune
When I get old I'm gonna keep swimming every day
Chorus
