Come on, everybody, come on in
Bobby's gonna show you
How to do the swim
Kinda like the monkey
Kinda like the twist
Pretend you're in the water
And you go like this
Now, baby, swim
Baby, do the swim
Just like the dog
But not so low
Like the hully gully
But not so slow
Now, baby, swim
Baby, do the swim
Do what you wanna
Do like you wish
Come on, baby, now
And swim like a fish
Now, baby, swim
Baby, come on in
Shake it up, baby
Twist and shout
Do the swim, baby
Now work it on out
Now, baby, swim
Baby, do the swim
Do what you wanna
It's all right
Bobby's gonna show you
How to swim tonight
Now, baby, swim
Come on, baby
I want you to swim, oh, yeah
Do the dog paddle, baby
Now do the backstroke
Shake it up, baby
Twist and shout
Do the swim, baby
Now work it on out
Now, baby, swim
Baby, do the swim
Do what you wanna
It's all right
Cause Bobby's gonna do
The swim for you tonight
Now, baby, swim
