Wading in the water and the tide began to creep Before I knew it, I had blew it, and started to get deep Head and shoulders under, watch my eyes burn till I weep Didn't know I could swim, but I learned in quantum leaps It's like you got it/ on the tip top of your nose, The shit you're in/ ain't turnin' out/ smellin' like a rose This shit ain't funny/ but you/ take it like a joke You've earned your turn, you doo doo doo doo, The Deep Shit Backstroke! Swim muthafukka swim, or sink in to the sea I tried to tread water, but it takes/ to much energy Doggy paddlin' in this doodee got me flickin' off the fleas You're in deep shit, doo doo the backstroke, like you're floatin' in the breeze It's like you got it/ on the tip top of your nose, the shit you're in/ ain't turnin' out/ smellin' like a rose this shit ain't funny/ but you/ take it like a joke you've earned your turn, you doo doo doo doo, The Deep Shit Backstroke! The shit you're in, ain't over, but there's no permanence of state that sinking feelings, got you reeling, thinkin' it's to late Up the nerve and your learning curve and manifest your fate It's stinkin' but you're not sinkin', in this shit that don't smell so great It's like you got it/ on the tip top of your nose, the shit you're in/ ain't turnin' out/ smellin' like a rose this shit ain't funny/ but you/ take it like a joke you've earned your turn, you doo doo doo doo, The Deep Shit Backstroke!
