Sunny Afternoon

The tax man's taken all my dough

And left me in this stately home

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't even sail my yacht

He's taken everything I've got

All I got's this sunny afternoon

In the summertime

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

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car

And gone back to her ma and pa

Telling tales of parrot heads and parties

And now I'm just sitting here

Sipping on this ice cold beer

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

Help me, help me, help me sail away

Well give me two good reasons why I ought to stay

Cause I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime

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

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

Tax man's taken all my dough

Gonna find that passport and out of here I'll go
