The taxman's taken all my Dollar
And left me in my stately home
Lazy on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yatch
He's taken everything I got
All I've got is a sunny afternoon
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 live of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in th..
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her mom and pa
Telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice-cold beer
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
Help me help me help me sail away
Or give me two good reasons
Why I ought to stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this live of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime ...
CHORUS
