The tax man's taken all my dough And left me in this stately home Lazing on a sunny afternoon And I can't sail my yacht He's taken everything I got All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I gotta big fat mama trying to break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon In a summertime
My girlfriend's gone off with my car And gone back to her ma and pa Telling tails of drunkenness and cruelty So I'm sitting here Sipping at my ice cold beer All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Help 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 Lazing on a sunny afternoon In a summertime In a summertime In a summertime
Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I gotta big fat mama trying to break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon In a summertime In a summertime In a summertime In a summertime In a summertime
