SWIMAWAY

(Lyrics: David Lefkowitz. Music: Solomon Linda’s “Mbube,” The Weavers’s “Wimoweh,” and The Tokens’s “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”)

Indonesia, in Indonesia the water sweeps tonight

Southern Thailand is now bye-bye land

The water sweeps tonight

Swimaway swimaway swimaway swimaway

Swimaway swimaway swimaway swimaway

In Malaysia and Southeast Asia

They cry and weep all night

Terra firma no more in Burma

The water sweeps tonight

Grab a rock, grab a bush

Scale a wall, save your tush

Grab your wife, grab your kid
Ride a whale, ride a squid

Trees

Climb `em please or you will swim away

If you sneeze, leave your keys 

`cause you will swim away

First you bloat, then you sink

Then you float, then you stink

First you bloat, then you sink

Then you float, then you stink

Sharks are noshing on bodies washing onto the sticky sand

They beg the West to help find the rest

But when did they lend us a hand?

Up the stairs, don’t delay

Say your prayers, wash away

Hear the screams, hear the moans

Say hello to Davy Jones

Squeeze a brick wall, please

Until it tumbles down

By degrees, bowel disease will get those who don’t drown

Hear the gunshots, the rebel gunshots

As mourners dig mass graves 

(Everybody!)

Devastation means exploitation

That’s just how men behave

Politics, dirty tricks

Profiteers, bandoliers

Angry fists, terrorists

Blood and fire, mud and mire

Swimaway Swimaway

Gotta be a better way

Swimaway Swimaway

Gotta be a better way.

(mix trilling with gasping and gurgling, and then)

The water sweeps tonight.
