Sunny Afternoon - Lyrics by The Kinks


Lyrics
The taxman's taken all my doughand left me in my stately homelazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yachthe's taken ev'rything I've got;all I've got's this sunny afternoon.
Save mesave mesave me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma tyin' to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantlylive this life of luxury:lazing on a sunny afternoonin Summertimein summertimein summertime.
My girlfriend's gone off with my carand gone back to her ma and patelling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting heresipping at my icecold beerlazing on a sunny afternoon.
Help mehelp mehelp me sail awayyou give me two good reasons why I ought to stay.'
Cos I love to live so pleasantlylive this life of luxury:lazing on a sunny afternoonin Summertimein summertimein summertime.
