[Verse 1]
I'm swimming in the pacific ocean now
It's hotter than hell upon land
If you would look the other way
You should be able to see me from where you stand
And I'm swimming in a red sea now
It's too crowded up there on land
I played with the kids but gave up
All they want to do is bury you in the sand
And I'm talking to someone
Oh, what's his name now
But I don't get anything said
He looks as if he knows something I do not
Or maybe it is only in my head

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
How could I forget
The beauty of just getting wet?

[Verse 2]
And I'm swimming in a dark pond now
You must get crazier every year
At least that's what the people up there are saying
I'm not saying anything, just swimming in a dark pond now
And I'm swimming in my mother's womb now
Going back on memory lane
Could be me that I'm hallucinating
But I'm starting to feel like I'm born again
And I'm talking to someone
I know his name now
He told me twice, then took a dive
I said, "I know, I know," but I did not
Oh, Lord, I was dead, could I please be alive?
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, how could I forget
The beauty of just getting wet?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm not good at it, but I try
I do the backstroke, breaststroke
And the butterfly-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

[Verse 3]
And I'm swimming in a dried out lake now
What's this one to see? It's hard to tell
I used to come here years ago
Oh, where did the water go?
And I'm swimming like this
And I'm swimming like that

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, I will not forget
The beauty of just getting wet

[Post-Chorus]
Still not good at it, but I try
I do the backstroke, breaststroke
And the butterfly-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y
[Outro]
They say a boat is just a boat
As long as he floats
They say a boat is just a boat
Watch me floating now
