Jimmy Buffett - Beautiful Swimmers lyrics

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 reachin' for a fallen star [Chorus:] Beautiful Swimmers they 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 flounder, tadpole, and softshell feels the choreography There all Beautiful Swimmers who know how to move Sneakin' pa** the draggers and the oyster bars Beautiful Swimmers just feel the groove Painting liquid brush strokes like renoir I miss my dorsal fin, I'm a big fish out of water Dwellin' on the coastal plain Now If I was as rich as the agacon I tell you what I would do Buy every man, woman, and child on this planet A mask and a snorkle too Then I'd leave this big migration Destination Chesapeake Bay Then we'd splash our way around the world Life is just a water ballet Come all you Beautiful Swimmers who know how to move Let's crowd across the water like a steel guitar Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove Fetching constant currents near and far
