SWIMMING WITH DADDY,
For I am swimming with daddy, We're ever so far away From the shore and the "beach end the houses, We're swimming right out in the bay. Bobby and .Toan and Margaret Are paddling in the sea. And I in quite sure they're envious And wish that they were me. \\ hen we were here Lift summer Daddy went swimming alone. And 1 had to splash and paddle A\ ith Bobby and Peggy and Joan. But now I am swimming with daddy. For he has taught me the way, So th.it wo could come swimming together To the rock right, out in the bay. Here s the rock, at last we have reached it. Though I'm not really tired at all; \\ e've climbed the rock and we're waving. Though the others can't hear us mH, For I've been swimming with daddy. So far out in the bay That the others are out of earshot And can't hear a word that wo »3y. The sea stretches on for ever As far as you can see; When I tell them what it all looks like. How they'll wish they'd been with me! Oh! I have been swimming with daddy, Swimming so far away, Oh! it's fine to goswimming with daddy, , Right out into the bay.
