The tax man's taken all my dough
Left me in my stately home
Lazing 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 squee-eeze
I gotta big fat mama tryin' to brea-eak me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury-y
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, In the summertime, In the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car
Gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tails of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' on an ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away-ay
Now give me two good reasons why I-I should stay
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury-y
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, In the summertime, In the summertime
Save me, save me, save me from this squee-eeze
I gotta big fat mama tryin' to brea-eak me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury-y
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, In the summertime, In the summertime
In the summertime, In the summertime
