Sunny Afternoon with Tom Jones Lyrics

Raymond Davies

In the Summertime

The tax 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 luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Everything seems fine

My girlfriend's run 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 oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

In the summertime
Everything is fine
because its the summertime
I don't care about a doggone thing
In the summertime
I'm broke, I'm skint
but its the summertime
In the summertime
Even though I ain't got a dime
in the summertime
I don't have a cow
I just got this ice cold beer
Everything seems fine
In the summertime
Nothing seems to matter
