Sunny Afternoon Lyrics by The Standells

The Hot Ones!

0

Davies
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 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 a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car and gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here, sipping at my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
Ah 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 a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
