A Freezing Cold Water Swim

(Sung To The Song "A Spoonful Of Sugar" By Julie Andrews...From the film..Mary Poppins)...(1964) A winters New Year's Day cold swim May seem irrational and grim And dress-up fun is...set! For that sea dip The goosebumps marinated skin Teeth fast chattering A grimace, the tingles, the constant shivering When.. a.. freezing cold water swim helps awaken the soul Awaken the soul-oul Awaken the soul When a freezing cold water swim helps awaken the soul In a most unusual way The rapid breathing and nose drips And the strange blueness of my lips My heart is now pumping extremely fast While in the sea so cold and grey Frozen eyes that won't obey And icicles...are new...extentions to my hair When a freezing cold water swim helps awaken the soul Awaken the soul-oul Awaken the soul When a freezing cold water swim helps awaken the soul In a most unusual way. Wishing my body was much fatter For protection and some warmth But then, I hear the others scream and cheer From each and every swimmer here Money for charities we hold dear We cheer and cheer The mon-ey raised Is very, very high Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ahh When a freezing cold water swim helps awaken the soul Awaken the soul-oul Awaken the soul When a freezing cold water swim helps awakens the soul In a most unusual way.
