The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately homeLazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yachtHe's taken everythin' I've gotAll I've got's this sunny afternoon
Save me, save meSave me from this squeezeI've got a big fat momma tryin' to break meAnd I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazing on a sunny afternoonIn the summertime, in the summertimeIn the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my carAnd gone back to her ma and paTelling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting hereSipping at my ice cold beerLazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail awayWell, give me two good reasonsWhy I oughta stay'Cause I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazing on a sunny afternoonIn the summertime, in the summertimeIn the summertime
Oh, save me, save meSave me from this squeezeI've got a big fat momma tryin' to break meAnd I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazing on a sunny afternoonIn the summertime, in the summertimeIn the summertime, in the summertimeIn the summertime
