sunny afternoon

in the summertime, 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 everything i've got, all i've got's this sunny afternoon, save me, from this squeeze, i've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me, and i love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime, my girlfriend's gone off with my car, and gone back to her ma and pa, telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty, and now i'm sitting here, sipping on my ice cold beer, lazing on a sunny afternoon, help me, sail away, give me two good reasons why i ought to stay, 'cause i love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime, everything is fine because it's the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime,
