Lyrics
  • The arms on the swimmers go in and out, in and out, in and out
  • The arms on the swimmers go in and out, all day long
  • The hands of the swimmers go paddle paddle paddle, paddle paddle paddle, paddle paddle paddle
  • The hands of the swimmers go paddle paddle paddle, all day long
  • The legs on the swimmers go kick kick kick, kick kick kick, kick kick kick
  • The legs on the swimmers go kick kick kick, all day long
  • The swimmers in the pool go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep
  • The swimmers in the pool go to sleep, all day long
