The tax man's taken all my dough, and left me in my stately home,

Lazing on a sunny after noon, and I can't sail my yacht, he's taken every thing I got

all I got's this sunny after noon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze, I've got a big fat momma 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 gone of 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, lazing on a sunny after noon.

Help me, help me, 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 summertiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime, in the summertime, in the summertime
