Well it's cold down here in the water |
|
It's cold down here in the sea |
|
Who'd be a channel swimmer? |
|
Only a fool like me |
|
I've greased my body |
|
and I'm heading over the ocean |
|
These two arms are the only locomotion |
|
I need |
|
See me swim and see me float |
|
I don't need no motorboat |
|
or a yacht to get me there |
|
I'll do the breaststroke |
|
and the backstroke |
|
I'll do anything |
|
I'll be swimming when you're all asleep |
|
I'll be swimming when you're all awake |
|
I'll do the sidestroke |
|
the other sidestroke |
|
I'll do the butterfly |
|
But I ain't gonna crawl |
|
on back to you, no way |
|
I see your face in every breaker |
|
I see your smile across the reef |
|
I came across the sea to take you |
|
Don't make me out to be a thief |
|
You'll be dreaming when you're all asleep |
|
But I'll be drowning when you're all awake |
|
I did the breaststroke |
|
I did my best stroke |
|
I did everything |
|
But I ain't good enough |
|
'Cause it's cold down here in the water |
|
It's cold down here in the sea |
|
Who'd be a channel swimmer? |
|
Only a fool like me |
|
Who'd be a channel swimmer? |
|
Only a fool like me... |
|
would forget he can't swim |
