The tax man'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 everything I've got   All I've got this sunny afternoon      Save me save me save me from this squeeze   I got a big fat momma tryin' a break me   And I love to live so pleasantly   Live this life of luxury   Lazing on a sunny afternoon   In the summer time   In the summer time   In the summer time      My boyfriend's run off with my car   And gone back to his ma and pa   Telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty   Now I'm sitting here   Sipping at my ice cold beer   Lazing on the sunny afternoon   Help me help me help me sail away   Oh give me two good reasons   Why I oughta stay      Cos I loe to live so pleasantly   Live this life of luxury   Lazing on a sunny afternoon   In the summer time   In the summer time      In the summer time      Save me save me save me from this squeeze   I got a big fat momma tryin' a break me   And I love to live to pleasantly   Live this life of luxury   Lazing on a sunny afternoon   In the summer time   In the summer time   In the summer time   In the summer time   In the summer time
