(Original Key: Bb)
Intro:
A7 D7 G7, C F C
Verse 1:
C A7 Gdim G7
Now every year about July, when summer time comes round,
G7 C
There's lots and lots of people at the seaside to be found.
A7 Dm
Some play golf or tennis; others like to take a rest,
D7 D7b5 G7
But here's the kind of exercise, that I en-joy the best;
Chorus 1:
C D7 G7 Gdim G7 C C7
When I go swimin' with the wimmin', eee, I do have a real good time.
F Cdim C D7 G7
Bobbing up and down in the water; it comes just below my Mason Dixon line.
C C7 Caug F
To see the ladies do their ex-er -cises,
D7 E7
You wouldn't think that half of them were slimming.
A7 D7
And when the girls stand up to sneeze, you can see their housemaids knees.
G7 C F C
If you go swimmin' with the wimmin'.
Verse 2:
C A7 Gdim G7
Now even when I am at home and working day to day,
G7 C
I always do look forward to my half day holiday.
A7 Dm
The people don't invite me out, they know my half day's fixed,
D7 D7b5 G7
I go out to the baths that day, because the bathing's mixed.
Chorus 2:
C D7 G7 Gdim G7 C C7
And I go swimin' with the wimmin', and I do have a real good time.
F Cdim C
I go bobbing up and down in the water,
D7
With a pretty girl, whose name is Adeline.
C C7 Caug F
You ought to see her latest bath-ing costume;
D7 E7
It's nothing but a little bit of trimming.
A7 D7
And what I took to be her face, turned out to be a different place,
G7 C F C
When I went swimmin' with the wimmin'.
Interlude:
C D7, G7 Gdim G7, C C7, F Cdim C, D7
Chorus 3:
C C7 Caug F
One day I went in with some of my re -lations,
D7 E7
And someone went and pushed my Uncle Jim in.
A7
He came up gasping for his breath and shouted;
D7
And shouted; "what a lovely death,
G7 C F C
To die while swimmin', with the wimmin!'
Chorus 4:
C D7 G7 Gdim G7 C C7
Once I went swimmin' with the wimmin' and I did feel a big soft thing.
F Cdim C
A woman went and fainted in the water,
D7 G7
And where she disappeared it left a ring.
C C7 Caug F
So I jumped in with nearly all my clothes on,
D7 E7
And swam until my eyesight started dimming.
A7 D7
And after fighting for my life, I found I'd gone and saved the wife;
G7 C F C
So I've chucked swimmin' with the wimmin'!
Outro:
A7 D7 G7, C F C
