A tiny call-and-response rhyme that doubles as a swimming game, sending the swan out to sea and cheering it back. Easy to act out with paddling arms and gliding hands.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Swan, swan, over the sea;
Swim, swan, swim!
Swan, swan, back again;
Well swum, swan!
