lyrics

My brother carried me, naked in naked arms,
to the deep side of the tank.
He said I'd learn to swim,
I said Nossirree!
He said he'd hold me up-
I said I bet he would.
He said he'd throw me in,
I'd have to swim.
But I was certain I would drown
or else be eaten up by snakes; so I invoked the magic
spell of Mother's wrath and made him take me
Homeside, Home is where the heart is
Homeside, Home is where the heart is

Later, though, I had to swim and floundered badly,
The arms that held me up were not my brother's
and I touched bottom on the far side from home.
