The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can't even sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna break me
And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now, I'm sitting here, sipping at my ice cold beer
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Oh, help me, help me, help me, sail away
Oh, give me two good reasons, why I have to stay?
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime.
Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna break me
And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime
