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
