Swimming In The Barrow

I woke in my hat and my boots because I knew that I'd miss the show

I didn't know what day it was and I didn't need to know

The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown is like heaven on earth to me

So down we go in the summer's glow, you'll run to keep up with me

We're set for the day and we know we can stay with a bun and a bottle of tea

The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown is like heaven on earth to me

Chorus:

So we run outside, say, "Who cares about the weather?"

Tell me you'll be mine for a thousand years

And the water's fine, wish this day could last forever

And stay summertime for a thousand years

Jump ya little boy, sink down into the barrow

Jump ya little boy down deep into the barrow

Swim ya little boy, now swimming in the barrow

Swim ya little boy down deep into the barrow

The girls arrive so very alive with ribbons and shiny hair

You're risking your life with a class of a dive, I hope that I see you there

The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown is like heaven on earth to me

I woke in my hat and my boots because I knew that I'd miss the show

I didn't know what day it was and I didn't need to know

The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea

But a hot day down by the barrow so brown is like heaven on earth to me

(Chorus)

Swim ya little boy down deep into the barrow

Swim ya little boy down deep into the barrow

Jump ya little boy, sink down into the barrow
