The tax man's taken all my dough, and left me in my stately home,
lazing on a sunny afternoon, and I can't sail my yacht,
he's taken everything I got
all I got this sunny afternoon.
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,
I've got a big fat momma trying to
break me, and I love to live so pleasantly,
live this life of luxury,
lazing on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime
in the summertime, in the summertime + (end)
My girlfriend's gone of with my car, and gone back to her ma
and pa,
telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty, now I am sitting here,
sipping at my ice-cold beer, lazing on a sunny afternoon.
Help me, help me, help me sail away, you give me two good reasons,
why I ought to stay, cause I love to live so pleasantly,
live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
in the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime
