Jones Tom 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)
