Dave Davies - Sitting in the Midday Sun lyrics

(Sung by The Tramp) I'm sitting by the side of a river Underneath the pale blue sky I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry I'm looking at the world go by Just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun Everybody say I'm lazy They all tell me get a job you slob I'd rather be a hobo walking round with nothing Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got So I'm just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun Why should I have to give my reasons For sitting in the midday sun Oh look at all the ladies Looking their best in their summer dresses Oh sitting in the sun I've got no home I've got no money But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah I haven't got a steady occupation And I can't afford a telephone I haven't got a stereo, radio or video A mortgage, overdraft, a bank loan The only way that I can get my fun Is by sitting in the midday sun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun Oh listen to the people Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing Ah but if they would only see I've got my pride I've got no money But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah Everybody thinks I'm crazy And everybody says I'm dumb But when I see the people shouting at each other I'd rather be an out of work bum So I'm just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun
