Sunny Afternoon

The taxmans taken all my dough
And left me in this stately home
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
And I cant even sail my yacht
Hes taken everything Ive got
All Ive gots this sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
My girlfriends run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa Tellin tales of parrotheads and parties
And now Im just sitting here
Sippin on this ice-cold beer
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well, give me two good reason why I ought to stay
cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazy on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
In the summertime…
In the summertime…
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazy on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime…
In the summertime…
In the summertime…
In the summertime…
Taxmans taken all my dough (in the summertime)
Gonna find that passport and outta here I go
(in the summertime)
--spoken:
«catch me a flight to st. somewhere and get out of this cold
Weather. go somewhere where no body knows my name
Gotta keep my mouth shut. try to go to confession at least once
A week. somewhere preferably south of the equator, I believe.
Where its summertime, where winter spends the summer. somewhere
Like that.»
