The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazin' 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, 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 life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
Lazin' on this sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Or 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 a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
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 life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
