Jones Tom Sunny Afternoon Lyrics

Sunny Afternoon Lyrics

Words and music by Raymond Davies

 

 In the summertime

 

 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, 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 (everything seems fine)

 

 My girlfriend’s gone off with my car

 

 And gone back to her ma and pa

 

 Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

 

 And now I’m sitting here

 

 Sipping on my ice cold beer

 

 Lazing on a sunny afternoon

 

 Help me, sail away

 

 Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay

 

 Cos I love to live so pleasantly

 

 Live this life of luxury

 

 Lazing on a sunny afternoon

 

 In the summertime

 

 Everything is fine because it’s the summertime

 

 In the summertime

 

 (I don’t care about a doggone thing)

 

 in the summertime

 

 (I’m broke, I’ve skint, but it’s the summertime)

 

 In the summertime

 

 (even though I ain’t got a dime, in the summertime, I don’t have
a dime)

 

 In the summertime

 

 (I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine)

 

 In the summertime

 

 (Nothing seems to matter)
