Intro
Verse
The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazin' 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
Chorus
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
Verse
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
Lazin' on this sunny afternoon
Chorus
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
Chorus
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
