The tax man's
taken all my dough
and left me
in my stately home
lazin' on
a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
he's taken
everything I've got
and all I've got's
this sunny afternoon
Oh save me, save me
save me
from his squeeze
I got a big fat mama
tryna break me
And I love to live
so pleasantly
live this life of luxury
lazin' on
a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
My girlfriend's run off
with my car
and gone back
to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of
drunkenness and cruelty
now I'm sittin' here
sippin' on my ice-cold beer
lazin' on
a sunny afternoon
Oh help me, help me
help me sail away
well give me two good
reasons why I oughta stay
Oh I love
to live so pleasantly
in this life of luxury
lazin' on
a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Oh save me, save me
save me
from his squeeze
oh I got a big fat mama
tryna break me
Yeah and I love to live
so pleasantly
in this life of luxury
lazin' on
a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
