The tax man's taken all my dough and left me in my stately home, lazin' 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 tryin' to 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, telin tales of drunkeness and cruelty. Now I am 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. And give me two good reasons why I ought to stay. Cos' 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 tryin' to 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
