Sunny Afternoon - Nellie McKay

The tax man’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

Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze

I’ve got a big fat poppa trying to break me

I’d like to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime

My boyfriend’s run off with my car

And gone back to his ma and pa

Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty

Now I’m sittin' here, sippin' at my ice cold beer

Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away

Give me two good reasons why I oughtta stay

I’d like 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
