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's this sunny afternoon
Save me, from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma 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 (everything seems fine)
My girlfriend's gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
And now I'm sitting here
Sipping on my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, sail away
Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
Cos I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
Everything is fine because it's the summertime
In the summertime
(I don't care about a doggone thing)
In the summertime
(I'm broke, I've skint, but it's the summertime)
In the summertime
(even though I ain't got a dime, in the summertime, I don't have a dime)
In the summertime
(I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine)
In the summertime
(Nothing seems to matter)
In the summertime 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's this sunny afternoon Save me, from this squeeze I've got a big fat momma 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 (everything seems fine) My girlfriend's gone off with my car And gone back to her ma and pa Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty And now I'm sitting here Sipping on my ice cold beer Lazing on a sunny afternoon Help me, sail away Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay Cos I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summertime Everything is fine because it's the summertime In the summertime (I don't care about a doggone thing) In the summertime (I'm broke, I've skint, but it's the summertime) In the summertime (even though I ain't got a dime, in the summertime, I don't have a dime) In the summertime (I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine) In the summertime (Nothing seems to matter) Explain Request ×
