Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

The Taxman'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 every thing I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me,
Save me from this squeeze,
I've got a big fat momma
tryin' to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this live of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
In summertime.

My girlfriend's gone 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 icecold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me,
Help me sail away,
You give me two good reasons
Why I ought to stay.
'Cos I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this live of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summertime,

Ah save me, save me,
Save me from this squeeze,
I've got a big fat momma
tryin' to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this live of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summertime,
In summer
