| The tax man’s taken all my dough |
| And left me in this stately home |
| Lazing on a sunny afternoon |
| And I can’t sail my yacht |
| He’s taken everything I got |
| All I’ve got’s this sunny afternoon |
| Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze |
| I gotta big fat mama trying to break me |
| And I love to live so pleasantly |
| Live this life of luxury |
| Lazing on a sunny afternoon |
| In a summertime |
| In a summertime |
| In a summertime |
| My girlfriend’s run off with my car |
| And gone back to her ma and pa |
| Telling tails 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 a summertime |
| In a summertime |
| In a summertime |
