Sunny afternoon lyrics
by Kinks



The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken ev'rything 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 momma tryin' to break 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

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 icecold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away
You give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
'Cause 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

Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break 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
In the summertime
In the summertime
