Intro:
E7 Am A7 D7,
[G] [C] [G]
Verse 1:
Now [G]every year about July,
When summer [E7]time [Ddim]comes [D7]round,
There's [D7]lots and lots of people,
At the [G]seaside to be found.
[E7] Some play golf or tennis,
Others [Am]like to take a rest,
But [A7]here s the kind of [D]exercise,
That [A7]I en-[A7b5]joy the [D7]best;
Chorus 1:
When I go [G]swimin' with the [A7]wimmin',
Ee I [D7]do have a [Ddim]real [D7]good [G]time.[G7]
[C] Bobbing up and [Edim]down in the [G]water,
It comes [A7]just below my Mason Dixon [D7]line.
To [G]see the ladies [G7]do their ex-[G+]er-[C]cises,
You [A7]wouldn't think that,
Half of them were [D7]slimming.
[B7] And when the [E7]girls stand up to sneeze,
You can [Am]see their housemaids [A7]knees.
If you go [D7]swimmin' with the [G]wimmin'.[C] [G]
Verse 2:
Now [G]even when I am at home,
And working [E7]day [Ddim]to [D7]day,
I [D7]always do look forward,
To my [G]half day holiday.
The [E7]people don't invite me out,
They [Am]know my half day's fixed,
I [A7]go out to the [D]baths that day,
Be-[A7]cause the [A7b5]bathing's [D7]mixed.
Chorus 2:
When I go [G]swimin' with the [A7]wimmin',
Ee I [D7]do have a [Ddim]real [D7]good [G]time.[G7]
[C] Bobbing up and [Edim]down in the [G]water,
With a [A7]pretty girl,
Whose name is Ade-line.
You [G]ought to see,
Her [G7]latest bath-[G+]ing [C]costume;
It's [A7]nothing but,
A little bit of [D7]trimming.
[B7] And what I [E7]took to be her face,
Turned out to [Am]be a different [A7]place,
When I went [D7]swimmin' with the [G]wimnin'.[C] [G]
Chorus 3:
One [G]day I went in,
With [G7]some of my [G+]re-[C]lations,
And [A7]someone went,
And pushed my Uncle [D]Jim in.
[B7] He came up [E7]gasping,
For his breath and shouted;
[Am] "What a lovely [A7]death,
To die when [D7]swimmin',
With the [G]wimmin!'[C] [G]
Chorus 4:
Once I went [G]swimmin' with the [A7]wimmin',
And I [D7]did feel a [Ddim]big [D7]soft [G]thing.[G7]
A [C]woman went and [Edim]fainted in the [G]water,
And [A7]where she disappeared it left a [D7]ring.
So I [G]jumped in,
With [G7]nearly all [G+]my [C]clothes on,
And [A7]swam until my eyesight,
Started [D7]dimming.
[B7] And after [E7]fighting for my life,
I found I'd [Am]gone and saved the [A7]wife,
So I've chucked [D7]swimmin' with the [G]wimmin'.[C] [G]
