I’ve been swimming in the seaBut didn’t go out farIt really isn’t safe, you see,According to my mum,So I prefer to swim elsewhereNow promise you won’t laughCos what I really, really likeIs swimming in the bath. Every night at half-past-fiveI fill it to the brimI then put on my bathing suitAnd boldly I plunge inI dive down to the bottomThen swim up to the topThen I start bobbing up and downWhich makes the water slop I sometimes do the breast-stroke thenAnd sometimes it’s the crawlSometimes I do doggy-paddleLike my brother PaulI like to do the backstroke tooBut had a bad mishapWhen I did backstroke very fastAnd bashed into the tap The other day I saw a sharkAnd had to swim quite fastBut luckily was rescuedBy a ship without a mastA pirate rowed me back to shoreAnd gave a hearty laughI have such great adventures whenI’m swimming in the bath Ends
