Sitting in the Midday Sun

I'm sittin' by the side of a river

Underneath the pale blue sky

I've got no need to worry

I'm in no hurry

I'm lookin' at the world go by

Just sittin' in the midday sun

Just soaking up the currant bun

With no particular purpose or reason

Sittin' in the midday sun

Everybody say I'm lazy

They all tell me get a job you slob

I'd rather be a hobo walking round with nothin'

But a rich man scared of losin' all he's got

So, I'm just sittin' in the midday sun

Just soaking up the currant bun

Why should I have to give my reasons

For sittin' in the midday sun

Oh, look at all the ladies

Lookin' their best in their summer dresses

Oh, sittin' in the sun

I've got no home

I've got no money

But who needs a job when it's sunny

Whoa, whoa

I haven't got a steady occupation

And I can't afford a telephone

And I haven't got a stereo, radio or video

A mortgage, overdraft, or bank loan

The only way that I can get my fun

Is by sittin' in the midday sun

With no particular purpose or reason

Sittin' in the midday sun

Oh, listen to the people

Who say Im a failure and I've got nothin'

But if they would only see

I've got my pride

I've got no money

But, who needs a job when it's sunny

Whoa, whoa

Everybody thinks I'm crazy

And everybody says I'm dumb

But, when I see the people shoutin' at each other

I'd rather be an out of work bum

So, I'm just sittin' in the midday sun

Just soaking up the currant bun

With no particular purpose or reason

I'm sittin' in the midday sun

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
