about

Fanny Durack is a National treasure !
World champion swimmer holding every women's title at one stage or another. Society at the time however felt a woman s place was certainly not in a pool !

lyrics

Immodest, immoral immerse me in water
Get me wet, I’ll show you things that you oughta
Reconsider cos I’m not a girl who will be ignored
Ain’t no one faster I hold the world record

I took the plunge in the water at Coogee
With my girlfriend Mina for the public to see
Bouncing in the water, my impressive breast.....
stroke We dipped in the waters reserved only for blokes

1906 was the year I had my first time
showed everyone my stroke and it was sublime
From that moment on, though the prudish all cursed
Each time I got wet, I came first

In Stockholm those Swedes know how to treat a girl
Although I had to pay my own way round the world
New South Wales ladies shoulders were cold
How good did it feel when all that stroking went gold

Olympic selectors, all men with small.....minds
Outrage at a girl who was the sporting kind
But the people were with me and I’ll tell you now blunt
My wicked free styling put me way out in front

Fanny Durack's my name and say it with pride
For I’ve done my bit to even the sides
So women can be whatever they choose
We can’t be beat , we’re too fast, you’ll lose

Immodest, immoral immerse me in water
Get me wet, I’ll show you things that you oughta
Reconsider cos I’m not a girl who will be ignored
