Beautiful Swimmers

Marilyn Monroe, did a night shoot, in a pool

Posing naked for a, Playboy spread

She was old, but she still was cool

When they wrapped right after midnight

And the crew went to the bar

Norma Jean just did the backstroke

Like she was reaching for a falling star

Beautiful swimmers

Know how to move

Slidin' cross the water like a, steel guitar

Beautiful swimmers, stay in the groove

Riding constant currents near, and far

Standing in, a tidal pool, just east of Baltimore

Watching little blue crabs

Navigate the eastern shore

Every bayou, stream and river

In time runs to the sea

Every tadpole, flounder and softshell

Feels the choreography

Beautiful swimmers

They know how to move

Sneaking past the draggers and the, oyster bars

Beautiful swimmers, just feel the groove

Painting liquid brush strokes, like Renoir

I miss my dorsal fin

I can't explain

I'm a big fish out of water

Dwelling on, the coastal plain

Now if I was as rich, as the Aga Khan

I’d tell you what I would do

Buy every man, woman and child on this planet

A mask, and a snorkel, too

Then I'd lead, that wild migration

Destination Waimea Bay

Then we'd splash our way, around the world

Life is just a water ballet

Come on you, beautiful swimmers

You know how to move

Let's glide across the water like a, steel guitar

Beautiful swimmers, stay in the groove

Catching constant currents, near and far
