We went out to the Lake District
On that fine and sunny July morn
We found a spot near the boat house
Near the bogbean and the squirrel corn
We went 'round back to smoke a joint
And we got ourselves super frickin' high
You said, Let's take a skinny dip in the lake
In that blue water under that juicy blue sky
I knew you were a pretty good swimmer
You could do flip turns just like a pro
Why it is you dropped down like a stone
Hell, I don't think I'll ever truly know
A sheriff from the Warren County office
Was the first to make the scene
He asked me a lot of probing questions
Thought I was trying to maybe contravene
I was out of my mind with sorrow
I struggled to make any kind of sense
Because the love my life
Had just got dragged down to the bottom
And I could offer no good defense
Did I have any kind of record
Have I ever gotten in a fix with Johnny Law
What exactly was she and I doing
Swimming in Lake George in the raw
They dragged Beatrice up from the bottom
Her face look like wrinkled old sack
In her pocket they found a soggy note
It said she had married some kind of maniac
We went out to the Lake District
On that fine and sunny July day
But Beatrice now is just a memory
One more victim of Hudson Bay
Sometimes I wonder just who I am
Just what makes me tick the way I tick
But sometimes I just can't help myself
When something stupid lights my wick
