Sunny Afternoon

In the summertime 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 everything I've got All I've got's this sunny afternoon 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 (everything seems fine) My girlfriend's gone off with my car And gone back to her 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 sail away 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 Everything is fine because it's the summertime (in the summertime) I don't care about a doggone thing (in the summertime) I'm broke, I've skint, but it's the summertime In the summertime Even though I ain't got a dime, in the summertime, I don't have a dime (in the summertime) I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine (in the summertime) Nothing seems to matter
