Lyrics 

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 everythin' I've got
 All I've got's this sunny afternoon
 Save me, save me
 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
 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
 Lazing on a sunny afternoon
 Help me, help me, help me sail away
 Well, give me two good reasons
 Why I oughta 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
 Oh, save me, save me
 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, in the summertime
 In the summertime
 
 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 everythin' I've got
 All I've got's this sunny afternoon
 Save me, save me
 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
 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
 Lazing on a sunny afternoon
 Help me, help me, help me sail away
 Well, give me two good reasons
 Why I oughta 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
 Oh, save me, save me
 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, in the summertime
 In the summertime
