Stevie Taite - First Trip To The Pool For Rosie lyrics

Two tiny tots Named Rosie and jack Raced to the revolving doors With sports bags on their back The were so exited 'Bout a morning at the pool Jack had been just twice before But Rosie, not at all. They manoeuvred obligingly To climb into their suits Then as their mums locked up their stuff The two were in cahoots In between plans About what, we'll never know They made their way to pool side Mums cried 'steady as you go' Jack asked his friend 'Rosie, can you swim? ' She said 'Don't know, I've never tried. I'll see when I get in' 'I can' he boasted. But really he could not His goggles made his ears stick out As in the pool he got. Rosie followed after The water wasn't cold She seemed not to be anxious And the side she didn't hold Jack splashed his arms Yet his feet stayed on the bottom Rosie shouted 'swim then jack! .. Or have you forgotten? ' Jack got cross His arms just flapped and flailed He tried to lift his feet again But hopelessly he failed Rosie pondered quietly The cogs in her head spinning And then with out a warning She had a go a swimming And do you know what? She swam right up to jack And Both mums jaws dropped open As she turned and swam right back No one could explain Where on earth she'd got those sk**s Perhaps in her last life She was an animal with gills!
