The Kinks

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 this sunny
afternoon
Save me save me save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat mama trying 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
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping on my ice cold beer
Blazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away. Well give me two good reasons why I ought to stay. 'Cause I'd love to live so pleasantly. Live this life of luxury, gazing 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've got a big fat mama trying to break me
And I'd love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Gazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
