Well its cold down here in the water
Its cold down here in the sea
Whod be a channel swimmer?
Only a fool like me
Ive greased my body
and Im heading over the ocean
These two arms are the only locomotion
I need
See me swim and see me float
I dont need no motorboat
or a yacht to get me there
Ill do the breaststroke
and the backstroke
Ill do anything
Ill be swimming when youre all asleep
Ill be swimming when youre all awake
Ill do the sidestroke
the other sidestroke
Ill do the butterfly
But I aint 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
Dont make me out to be a thief
Youll be dreaming when youre all asleep
But Ill be drowning when youre all awake
I did the breaststroke
I did my best stroke
I did everything
But I aint good enough
Cause its cold down here in the water
Its cold down here in the sea
Whod be a channel swimmer?
Only a fool like me
Whod be a channel swimmer?
Only a fool like me...
would forget he cant swim
