Intro:
  A7    D7  G7,   C    F  C  
Verse 1:
Now Cevery year about July, when summer A7time Gdimcomes G7round,
There's G7lots and lots of people at the Cseaside to be found.
 A7Some play golf or tennis; others Dmlike to take a rest,
                                         D7D7b5    G7  
But here's the kind of exercise, that I en-joy the best;
Chorus 1:
When I go Cswimin' with the D7wimmin', eee, I G7do have a Gdimreal G7good Ctime.C7  
 FBobbing up and Cdimdown in the Cwater; it comes D7just below my Mason Dixon G7line.
To Csee the ladies C7do their ex-Cauger  -Fcises,
You D7wouldn't think that half of them were E7slimming.
And when the A7girls stand up to sneeze, you can D7see their housemaids knees.
If you go G7swimmin' with the Cwimmin'.F  C  
Verse 2:
Now Ceven when I am at home and working A7day Gdimto   G7day,
I G7always do look forward to my Chalf day holiday.
The A7people don't invite me out, they Dmknow my half day's fixed,
                                          D7D7b5      G7  
I go out to the baths that day, because the bathing's mixed.
Chorus 2:
And I go Cswimin' with the D7wimmin', and I G7do have a Gdimreal G7good Ctime.C7  
I go Fbobbing up and Cdimdown in the Cwater,
With a D7pretty girl, whose name is Adeline.
You Cought to see her C7latest bath-Cauging  Fcostume;
It's D7nothing but a little bit of E7trimming.
And what I A7took to be her face, turned out to D7be a different place,
When I went G7swimmin' with the Cwimmin'.F  C  
Interlude:
  C  D7,   G7    Gdim  G7,   C  C7,   F    Cdim  C, D7  
Chorus 3:
One Cday I went in with C7some of my Caugre  -Flations,
And D7someone went and pushed my Uncle E7Jim in.
He came up A7gasping for his breath and shouted;
And shouted; "D7what a lovely death,
To die while G7swimmin', with the Cwimmin!'F  C  
Chorus 4:
Once I went Cswimmin' with the D7wimmin' and I G7did feel a Gdimbig  G7soft Cthing.C7  
A Fwoman went and Cdimfainted in the Cwater,
And D7where she disappeared it left a G7ring.
So I Cjumped in with C7nearly all Caugmy   Fclothes on,
And D7swam until my eyesight started E7dimming.
And after A7fighting for my life, I found I'd D7gone and saved the wife;
So I've chucked G7swimmin' with the Cwimmin'!F  C
