The taxman'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 got's this sunny afternoon Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I got a big fat momma trying to break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In the summertime My girlfriend's gone off with my car And gone back to her ma and pa Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty While I'm sittin' here Sippin' at my ice-cool beer Lazin on a sunny afternoon Help me, me help me, help me sail away Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In summertime In summertime In summertime In summertime.....
