Songtexte: Jimmy Buffett. Buffet Hotel. Beautiful Swimmers.

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 reachina?? for a fallen star

Chorus:
Beautiful Swimmers they know how to move
Slidina?? 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
Sneakina?? pass the draggers and the oyster bars
Beautiful Swimmers just feel the groove

Painting liquid brush strokes like renoir

I miss my dorsal fin, Ia??m a big fish out of water
Dwellina?? 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 Ia??d leave this big migration
Destination Chesapeake Bay
Then wea??d splash our way around the world
Life is just a water ballet

Come all you Beautiful Swimmers who know how to move
Leta??s crowd across the water like a steel guitar
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
Fetching constant currents near and far
