In reply to the discussion: What older commercial can you quote verbatim from memory? [View all]Art_from_Ark
(27,247 posts)that I loved in part because it meant that swimming season was here! It was an animated commercial that featured a pelican and a seagull playing musical instruments as the singers sang:
If you like the water
Then you really ought-er
Learn...how to swim
At the Y-M-C-A
Learn how to swim like a fish in the water
Learn how to dive like a bird from a pier
Never dive where it's shallow,
Be sure that you land
In water, you ought-er, it's softer than sand
Don't go swimming alone
That's a risky thing to do
There's safety in numbers
And more fun, too
Don't go swimming when you're tired
Or go away from the shore
'Cause then you might not never go swimming no more.
So,
If you like the water
Then you really ought-er
Learn...how to swim
At the Y-M-C-A
Learn to swim well, at the Y!
