HER BATHING SUIT NEVER GOT WET
(Nat Simon, Charles Tobias)
The Andrews Sisters

Also recorded by:

Edmundo Ros


By the waters of the Caribbean
Lived a lovely little Latin Queen
In her bathing suit she can be seen
Strolling down beside the sea

But her bathing suit never got wet
And she was an Admiral’s daughter
And always so close to the water
But her bathing suit never got wet

Then one day imagine her surprise
Clouds began to gather in the skies
There she stood just like a frightened pup
When the heavens opened up

But her bathing suit never got wet
For there on the sand was a feller
And he had the cutest umbrella
So her bathing suit never got wet

Then a boy whom she had snubbed one day
Got revenge, and in the sweetest way
Turned the hose upon this Latin Beaut
Standing in her bathing suit

But her bathing suit never got wet
For while she was weeping and screaming
She woke up and found she was dreaming
So her bathing suit never got wet

Here’s what happened on the beach one night
When she saw that no one was in sight
She made up her mind and in she went
Swimming to her heart’s content

But her bathing suit never got wet
And here is the answer, oh brother
She borrowed a suit from her mother
So her bathing suit never got wet

Then one day she broke the golden rule
Climbed the ladder of a swimming pool
There she stood, and as the people roared
She dove off the diving board

But her bathing suit never got wet
And oh what a lesson it taught her
What good is a pool without water?
But her bathing suit never got wet.
