Tom Jones - Sunny Afternoon lyrics

rate me

The taxman's taken all my dough and left me in my stately home

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

I can't sail my yacht, he's taken taken everything I've got

All I got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from the squeeze

I got a a big fat momma trying to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly live this life of luxury

Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

My girlfriend's gone off with my car and gone back to her ma and pa

Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty

While I'm sittin' here sippin' at my ice-cool beer

Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

Help me, me help me, help me sail away

Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay

And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury

Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime, in the summertime

In the summertime, in the summertime.
