The tax man's taken all my dough
Left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
And all I've got this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat daddy
He's trying to break me
And I love to live in luxury
Live this life so pleasantly
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime (In the summertime)
In the summertime (In the summertime)
In the summertime
My boyfriend's run off with my car
He's gone back to his ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
And now I'm sitting here
Sipping on 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 the summertime (In the summertime)
In the summertime (In the summertime)
In the summertime
Oh, save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
You know I got a big fat daddy
He's trying to break me
Oh, but 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
