Sunny afternoon...

"The taxman'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 ev'rything I've got;
all I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me
save me
save me from this squeeze

I've got a big fat momma
tyin' to break me.

And I love to live so pleasantly
live this life of luxury:
lazing on a sunny afternoon

in Summertime
in summertime
in summertime.

My girlfriend's gone off with my car
and gone back to her ma and pa
telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.

Now I'm sitting here
sipping at my icecold beer
lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me
help me
help me sail away

you 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 Summertime
in summertime
in summertime."
