GUEST,Cryptic Lyr Req/Add: Swim, Sam! Swim! (Weston/Lee) (23) RE: req/ADD: Swim Sam 31 May 08


My Father used to sing this and a host of other ditties when he was in a good mood on our regular Sunday Afternoon Drives, way back in the 1940's. [A post-WWII tradition, long before Television].
It's interesting to see the first verse, which Dad never sang, and the last verse, which I probably just don't remember.
Dad had a huge repertoire of what I believe could have been mild Music Hall songs. When he was at school his teacher used to select a child to 'perform' and as Dad considered himself a no-talent person, he researched a lot of amusing, tongue-twisting songs, which he sang in a deadpan totally tuneless fashion, to the delight of all.
Thank you so much for providing the extra words for me!
MY kids will be delighted.
