| The taxmans taken all my dough
|
| And left me in this stately home
|
| Lazin on a sunny afternoon
|
| And I cant even sail my yacht
|
| Hes taken everything Ive got
|
| All Ive gots this sunny afternoon
|
| In the summertime…
|
| Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
|
| Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me And I love to live so pleasantly
|
| Live this life of luxury
|
| Lazin on a sunny afternoon
|
| In the summertime…
|
| My girlfriends run off with my car
|
| And gone back to her ma and pa Tellin tales of parrotheads and parties
|
| And now Im just sitting here
|
| Sippin on this ice-cold beer
|
| Lazin on a sunny afternoon
|
| In the summertime…
|
| Help me, help me, help me sail away
|
| Well, give me two good reason why I ought to stay
|
| cause I love to live so pleasantly
|
| Live this life of luxury
|
| Lazy on a sunny afternoon
|
| In the summertime…
|

|
| «catch me a flight to st. |
| somewhere and get out of this cold
|
| Weather. |
| go somewhere where no body knows my name
|
| Gotta keep my mouth shut. |
| try to go to confession at least once
|
| A week. |
| somewhere preferably south of the equator, I believe.
|
| Where its summertime, where winter spends the summer. |
| somewhere
|
| Like that.»
