The taxman´s taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can´t sail my yacht
He´s taken taken everything I´ve got
All I got´s this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me, save me from the squeeze
I got a a big fat momma trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin´ on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
My girlfriend´s gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin´ tales of drunkenness and cruelty
While I´m sittin´ here
Sippin´ at my ice-cool beer
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
Help me, me help me, help me sail away
Well, 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 the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime.....
