The tax man'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 this sunny afternoon Save me save me save me from this squeeze I got a big fat momma tryin' a break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summer time In the summer time In the summer time My boyfriend's run off with my car And gone back to his ma and pa Telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty Now I'm sitting here Sipping at my ice cold beer Lazing on the sunny afternoon Help me help me help me sail away Oh give me two good reasons Why I oughta stay Cos I loe to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summer time In the summer time In the summer time Save me save me save me from this squeeze I got a big fat momma tryin' a break me And I love to live to pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summer time In the summer time In the summer time In the summer time In the summer time (C) 1966 PRT (UK)Reproduced without permission
