"Sunny Afternoon" lyrics

"Sunny Afternoon"

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
I can't even sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Oh save me! Save me! Save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna 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 am sitting here
Sipping at my ice-cold beer
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Oh help me! Help me! Help me sail away
And 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 got a big fat mama tryna 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
