The Kinks | Sunny Afternoon

The taxman's taken all my dough and left me in my stately home

Livin' on a sunny afternoon

And I can't sell my yard, he's taken everything I've got

All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I got a big fat momma tryin' to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury

In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car And gone back to her Marimba

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

Now I'm sitting here, sipping up my ice cold beer

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away

Oh, give me two good reasons why I ought to stay

Gosh, I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Livin' on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime I'll save me, save me, save me from this squeeze

I got a big fat mama 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, In the summertime,

In the summertime.
