 (Original Key: )
 Now every  year about July, when summer time comes round,
 There's lots  and lots of people at the seaside  to be found.
 Some play golf or tennis; others like  to take a rest,
 But here's  the kind of exercise,  that I  en-joy  the best;
 When I go swimin'  with the wimmin',
 Eee, I do  have a real good time.
 Bobbing up and down  in the water;
 It comes just  below my Mason Dixon line.
 To see  the ladies do  their ex-er-cises,
 You wouldn't  think that half of them were slimming.
 And when the girls  stand up to sneeze,
 You can see  their housemaids knees.
 If you go swimmin'  with the wimmin'.
 Now even  when I am at home and working day to day,
 I always  do look forward to my half  day holiday.
 The people  don't invite me out, they know  my half day's fixed,
 I go  out to the baths  that day, be-cause  the bathing's mixed.
 When I go swimin'  with the wimmin',
 Eee, I do  have a real good time.
 Bobbing up and down  in the water,
 With a pretty  girl, whose name is Adeline.
 You ought  to see her latest  bath-ing costume;
 It's nothing  but a little bit of trimming.
 And what I took  to be her face,
 Turned out to be  a different place,
 When I went swimmin'  with the wimmin'.
 One day  I went in with some of my re-lations,
 With some  of my re-lations,
 And someone  went and pushed my Uncle Jim  in.
 He came up gasping  for his breath and shouted;
 And shouted; "what  a lovely death,
 To die when swimmin',  with the wimmin!'
 Once I went swimmin'  with the wimmin',
 And I did  feel a big soft thing.
 A woman  went and fainted  in the water,
 And where  she disappeared it left a ring.
 So I jumped  in with nearly  all my clothes  on,
 And swam  until my eyesight started dimming.
 And after fighting  for my life,
 I found I'd gone  and saved the wife;
 So I've chucked swimmin'  with the wimmin'!

(Original Key: [Bb])

[E7]  [Am]  [A7]  [D7]  [G]  [C]  [G]

Now [G]every year about July, when summer [E7]time [Ddim]comes [D7]round,
There's [D7]lots and lots of people at the [G]seaside to be found.
[E7] Some play golf or tennis; others [Am]like to take a rest,
But [A7]here's the kind of [D]exercise, that [A7]I en-[A7b5]joy the [D7]best;

When I go [G]swimin' with the [A7]wimmin',
Eee, I [D7]do have a [Ddim]real [D7]good [G]time.[G7]
[C] Bobbing up and [Edim]down in the [G]water;
It comes [A7]just below my Mason Dixon [D7]line.

To [G]see the ladies [G7]do their ex-[G]er-[C]cises,
You [A7]wouldn't think that half of them were [D7]slimming.
[B7] And when the [E7]girls stand up to sneeze,
You can [Am]see their housemaids [A7]knees.
If you go [D7]swimmin' with the [G]wimmin'.[C]   [G]

Now [G]even when I am at home and working [E7]day [Ddim]to   [D7]day,
I [D7]always do look forward to my [G]half day holiday.
The [E7]people don't invite me out, they [Am]know my half day's fixed,
I [A7]go out to the [D]baths that day, be-[A7]cause the [A7b5]bathing's [D7]mixed.

When I go [G]swimin' with the [A7]wimmin',
Eee, I [D7]do have a [Ddim]real [D7]good [G]time.[G7]
[C] Bobbing up and [Edim]down in the [G]water,
With a [A7]pretty girl, whose name is Adeline.

You [G]ought to see her [G7]latest bath-[G]ing [C]costume;
It's [A7]nothing but a little bit of [D7]trimming.
[B7] And what I [E7]took to be her face,
Turned out to [Am]be a different [A7]place,
When I went [D7]swimmin' with the [G]wimmin'.[C]   [G]

One [G]day I went in with some of my re-lations,
With [G7]some of my [G]re-[C]lations,
And [A7]someone went and pushed my Uncle [D]Jim in.
[B7] He came up [E7]gasping for his breath and shouted;
And shouted; "[Am]what a lovely [A7]death,
To die when [D7]swimmin', with the [G]wimmin!' [C]    [G]

Once I went [G]swimmin' with the [A7]wimmin',
And I [D7]did feel a [Ddim]big  [D7]soft [G]thing.[G7]
A [C]woman went and [Edim]fainted in the [G]water,
And [A7]where she disappeared it left a [D7]ring.

So I [G]jumped in with [G7]nearly all [G]my [C]clothes on,
And [A7]swam until my eyesight started [D7]dimming.
[B7] And after [E7]fighting for my life,
I found I'd [Am]gone and saved the [A7]wife;
So I've chucked [D7]swimmin' with the [G]wimmin'! [C]    [G]
