[spoken - lead singer] "Which flags is it, mate?" [spoken - lifeguard] "Between the red and yellow ones please." [Instrumental begins AFTER the spoken dialogue] Swim between the flags It's the safest place to be Swim between the flags The lifeguard's on duty. Swim between the flags It's the safest place to be Swim between the flags When you're swimming in the sea. Swim between the flags Swim between the flags Swim between the flags Red and yellow Red and yellow Between red and yellow But what if you were to stray Outside of that zone? If you're outside of the flag, Well, then you're on your own. Swim between the flags (Red and yellow) Swim between the flags (Red and yellow) You're outside of the flags! Well, then... You'll have to save yourself You'll have to save yourself The lifeguard's on duty But they just don't see you If you don't swim between the flags Anyone could help But you'll have to save yourself You'll have to save yourself You'll have to save yourself You'll have to save yourself Or just Swim between the flags (Red and yellow) Swim between the flags (Red and yellow) Swim between the flags (Red and yellow) [spoken at end] "What do the black and white ones mean?"
