I’d Love to Swim in the Zuider Zee

[Verse 1]
Last night I had an awful vision, country went on prohibition
Lemonade, water, coffee and tea, not a drop of cider sea
Then a little wurzel man appeared, 3 foot tall with a 4 foot beard
"I've come to grant you a wish" said he, "but only one what will it be"

[Chorus]
I’d love to swim in the cider sea
Breaststroke or dive in the cider sea
Butterfly, backstroke, American crawl
It don't matter, I can't swim at all
Full to the gills, with pints quarts and jills
Of the cider sea

[Verse 2]
Now here’s one thing I'd like to say, before thеy bury me away
Zuider be thе stuff for I, that is why you'll hear me cry
If you see me in trouble don't send out a boat, in a sea full of cider who wants to float
And if I go down for the third time don't cry, oh what a marvelous way to die
Full to the gills, with pints quarts and jills
Of the cider sea

[Bridge]
I'd be content to splash and play, in the waves I'd romp all day
So take me out and turn me loose in a sea of apple juice

[Chorus]
I'd love to swim in the cider sea
Breaststroke or dive in the cider sea
Butterfly, backstroke, American crawl
It don’t matter, I can’t swim at all
Full to the gills, with pints quarts and jills
Of the cider sea

[Verse 3]
Now there's one thing I miss the most
Not scrambled eggs or beans on toast
But cider, cider, cider be
All the world to me

[Chorus]
I’d love to swim in the cider sea
Breaststroke or dive in the cider sea
Butterfly, backstroke, American crawl
It don't matter, I can't swim at all
Full to the gills, with pints quarts and jills
Of the cider sea
Full to the gills, with pints quarts and jills
Of the cider sea
