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
Mama trying to break me
And I'd love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
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
Oh, give me two good reasons
Why I had to stay
Cause I'd love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Oh, save me, save me, save me
From this squeeze
I got a big fat
Mama trying to break me
And I'd 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
