The tax man'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 got a big fat momma tryin' a break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summer time
In the summer time
In the summer time

My boyfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to his ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkeness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
Lazing on the sunny afternoon
Help me help me help me sail away
Oh give me two good reasons
Why I oughta stay

Cos I loe to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing 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 got a big fat momma tryin' a break me
And I love to live to pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summer time
In the summer time
In the summer time
In the summer time
In the summer time
