Sunny Afternoon

In the summertime

The tax man's taken all my dough

And left me in my stately home

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't sail my yacht

He's taken everything I've got

All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me from this squeeze

I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime, in the summertime

Everything seems fine

My girlfriend's gone off with my car

And gone back to her Ma and Pa

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

And now I'm sitting here

Sipping on my ice cold beer

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, sail away

Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay

'Cos I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime, everything is fine

Because it's the summertime

I don't care about a doggone thing

I'm broke, I'm skint, but it's the summertime

In the summertime

Even though I ain't got a dime

In the summertime, I don't have a dime

I just got this ice cold beer

Everything seems fine in the summertime

Nothing seems to matter
