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 got Now all I got this sunny afternoon Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze! I got a big fat momma trying to break me! And I love to look so pleasantly I live this life of luxury lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car And got back to her ma and pa Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty Now I'm sitting here, sipping at my ice cold beer Lazing on a sunny afternoon Help me, help me, help me sail away Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay! Cause 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 Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze! I got a big fat momma trying to break me! And I love to look so pleasantly I live this life of luxury lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime
