The ta 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 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 lu ury,

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 lu ury,

Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime

Ah save me (3 ) from this squeeze

I got a big fat mama trying to break me.

And I love to live so pleasantly,

Live this life of lu ury,

Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime
