The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon lyrics

The taxman's taken all my dough And left me in my stately home Lazin' on a sunny afternoon And I can't sail my yacht He's taken everything I got All I've got's this sunny afternoon Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I've got a big fat mama tryin' ta break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In da summertime In da summertime In da summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car And gone back to her ma and pa Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty Now I'm sittin' here Sippin' at my ice cold beer Lazin' on a sunny afternoon Help me, help me, help me sail away Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In da summertime In da summertime In da summertime Ah, 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 da summertime In da summertime In da summertime In da summertime In da summertime
