The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazin' on a sunny 1
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's 2 sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat mama tryin' ta 3 me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a 4 afternoon
In da summertime
In da summertime
In da summertime

My 5 's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' 6 of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice cold 7
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well, give me two 8 reasons why I oughta stay
'Cause I love to live so 9
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In da summertime
In da summertime
In da summertime

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In da summertime
In da summertime
In da summertime
In da summertime
In da summertime
