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.
