Nellie Mckay - Sunny Afternoon lyrics

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 All I've got's this sunny afternoon Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze I've got a big fat poppa trying to break me I'd like to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My boyfriend's run off with my car And gone back to his ma and pa Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty Now I'm sittin' here, sippin' at my ice cold beer Lazin' on a sunny afternoon Help me, help me, help me sail away Give me two good reasons why I oughtta stay I'd like to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime
