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, save me, save me from this squeeze 
I got a big fat mama 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 run off with my car
And gone back to her Ma and Pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty 
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
All I've got's this sunny afternoon 

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well 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 summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze 
I got a big fat mama 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 
In the summertime, in the summertime
