The Taxman's Taken All My Dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can't even sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat dream
Mama, I'm trying to break a wheel
And I'd love to live so pleasantly
Live this life in luxury
Lazing 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
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice-cold beer
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Oh, help me, help me, help me sail away
And give me two good reasons
Why I gotta stay
Cause I'd love to live so pleasantly
Live this life in luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Save me, save me, save me from the squeeze
I got a big fat mama trying to bring 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
In the summertime
