KINKS - Sunny Afternoon lyrics

rate me

The tax man's taken all my dough,<br>And left me in my stately home,<br>Lazing on a sunny afternoon.<br>And I can't sail my yacht,<br>He's taken everything I've got,<br>All I've got's this sunny afternoon.<br><br>Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.<br>I got a big fat mama trying to break me.<br>And I love to live so pleasantly,<br>Live this life of luxury,<br>Lazing on a sunny afternoon.<br>In the summertime<br>In the summertime<br>In the summertime<br><br>My girlfriend's run off with my car,<br>And gone back to her ma and pa,<br>Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.<br>Now I'm sitting here,<br>Sipping at my ice cold beer,<br>Lazing on a sunny afternoon.<br><br>Help me, help me, help me sail away,<br>Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.<br>'cause I love to live so pleasantly,<br>Live this life of luxury,<br>Lazing on a sunny afternoon.<br>In the summertime<br>In the summertime<br>In the summertime<br><br>Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.<br>I got a big fat mama trying to break me.<br>And I love to live so pleasantly,<br>Live this life of luxury,<br>Lazing on a sunny afternoon.<br>In the summertime<br>In the summertime<br>In the summertime
