 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'.
