Intro:
E7 Am A7 D7,
G C G
Verse 1:
G
Now every year about July,
E7 Ddim D7
When summer time comes round,
D7
There's lots and lots of people,
G
At the seaside to be found.
E7
Some play golf or tennis,
Am
Others like to take a rest,
A7 D
But here s the kind of exercise,
A7 A7b5 D7
That I en-joy the best;
Chorus 1:
G A7
When I go swimin' with the wimmin',
D7 Ddim D7 G G7
Ee I do have a real good time.
C Edim G
Bobbing up and down in the water,
A7 D7
It comes just below my Mason Dixon line.
G G7 G+ C
To see the ladies do their ex-er-cises,
A7
You wouldn't think that,
D7
Half of them were slimming.
B7 E7
And when the girls stand up to sneeze,
Am A7
You can see their housemaids knees.
D7 G C G
If you go swimmin' with the wimmin'.
Verse 2:
G
Now even when I am at home,
E7 Ddim D7
And working day to day,
D7
I always do look forward,
G
To my half day holiday.
E7
The people don't invite me out,
Am
They know my half day's fixed,
A7 D
I go out to the baths that day,
A7 A7b5 D7
Be-cause the bathing's mixed.
Chorus 2:
G A7
When I go swimin' with the wimmin',
D7 Ddim D7 G G7
Ee I do have a real good time.
C Edim G
Bobbing up and down in the water,
A7
With a pretty girl,
Whose name is Ade-line.

G
You ought to see,
G7 G+ C
Her latest bath-ing costume;
A7
It's nothing but,
D7
A little bit of trimming.
B7 E7
And what I took to be her face,
Am A7
Turned out to be a different place,
D7 G C G
When I went swimmin' with the wimnin'.
Chorus 3:
G
One day I went in,
G7 G+ C
With some of my re-lations,
A7
And someone went,
D
And pushed my Uncle Jim in.
B7 E7
He came up gasping,
For his breath and shouted;
Am A7
"What a lovely death,
D7
To die when swimmin',
G C G
With the wimmin!'
Chorus 4:
G A7
Once I went swimmin' with the wimmin',
D7 Ddim D7 G G7
And I did feel a big soft thing.
C Edim G
A woman went and fainted in the water,
A7 D7
And where she disappeared it left a ring.
G
So I jumped in,
G7 G+ C
With nearly all my clothes on,
A7
And swam until my eyesight,
D7
Started dimming.
B7 E7
And after fighting for my life,
Am A7
I found I'd gone and saved the wife,
D7 G C G
So I've chucked swimmin' with the wimmin'.
