Sunny Afternoon Songtext
von The Kinks

The tax man′s taken all my dough
And left me in this stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He′s taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna 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 oughta 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 tryna 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
