Mum always said 'Avoid the water
Or it’ll scare you to death!'
Who would have guessed I let this hint slip soon after that
She always said I was no swimmer and now it’s proved
I’m trying to swim and it’s making my mind go crazy
Cos it won’t work

When the jelly fish came
And burned my leg
I escaped and couldn’t stand the pain
When I lie in hospital and can’t feel my leg
When he came and he laughed and he stopped my pain

Oh da Blubb Blubb Baby
Please don’t let me drown
I need my water wings
Oh da Blubb Blubb Baby
Please help me to swim
And put my mind at ease for sure.

On a cruiser
20 odd years now
I got off today
But nobody said the stop that I’ve taken
Was a stop too early
Now I’m drowning
And thinking of stupid hurtful big things like

When the shark came along
And bit in my leg
I escaped and couldn’t stand the pain
When I lie in hospital and can’t feel my leg
When he came and he laughed and he stopped my pain

Oh da Blubb Blubb Baby
Please don’t let me drown
I need my water wings
Oh da Blubb Blubb Baby
Please help me to swim
And put my mind at ease for sure.

Maybe it’s time to learn to swim
Maybe it’s time to get it right
This is when water wings must go
Now that we’ve gone our separate ways
I can forget these desperate days
This is what I’ve been trying to doo-oooo

Oh da Blubb Blubb Baby
Please don’t let me drown
I need my water wings
Oh da Blubb Blubb Baby
Please help me to swim
And put my mind at ease for sure.
