lyrics

Me and my friends made our way to a pool
Wearing super tight speedos thinking we’re so cool
We took off our shirts and we were ready to go
Then we saw something huge that made our minds explode
We saw the biggest slide in the entire world
Shaped in different forms of whirls and twirls
Running so fast thinking there’s no time to rest
A lifeguard stopped us and said you need to take the swim test

(Swim test!) Why oh why
(Swim test!) Is this necessary
(Swim test!) I’m on my knees praying
(Swim test!) Get me out of this mess

So I followed the rules and I took the swim test
The lifeguard said “Go!” and I did my best
My friends are watching me as I moved along
They both cheered for me which didn’t very last long
I turned around and then I swam back
Water splashed everywhere like a massive attack
When I was done, I asked the lifeguard “did I pass?”
The lifeguard said “No. You’ve failed the task.”

(Swim test!) Why oh why
(Swim test!) Is this necessary
(Swim test!) I’m on my knees praying
(Swim test!) Get me out of this mess

(Swim test!) Why oh why?
(Swim test!) Is this necessary?
(Swim test!) I’m on my knees praying
(Swim test!) Get me out of this mess
(Swim test!) Why oh why?
(Swim test!) Is this necessary?
(Swim test!) I’m on my knees praying
(Swim test!) Get me out of this mess
