Tax man's taken all my dole
left me in my statley home
lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can't even seal my yard
he's taken everything I've got
all I've got is this sunny afternoon
oh save me save me save me from the sreen
I've got a big fat momma
trying to break me
and I'd love so pleasently live this life of luxury
lazing on a sunny afternoon
in the summertime
in the summertime
in the summertime
My girlfriend has run off with my car
gone back to her ma and pa
telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty
now I'm sitting here sipping at my ice cold beer
all I've got is this sunny afternoon
oh help me help me help me sail away
and give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
cos I'd love to live so pleasently live this life of luxury
lazing on a sunny afternoon
in the summertime
in the summertime
in the summertime
