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
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
