Lazin' on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime
Gotta keep my mouth shut, try to go to confession at least once a week
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime
(In the summertime)
And gone back to her ma and pa
And I can't even sail my yacht
In the summertime, in the summertime
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime
(In the summertime)
Catch me a flight to St., somewhere and get out of this cold weather
Gonna find that passport and outta here I go
Where winter spends the summer, somewhere like that
I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me
In the summertime
Help me, help me, help me sail away
In the summertime, in the summertime
In the summertime
(In the summertime)
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
I believe where it's summertime
Somewhere preferably south of the equator
And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me
Well give me two good reason why I ought to stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
My girlfriend's run off with my car
Go somewhere where no body knows my name
(In the summertime)
Taxman's taken' all my dough
And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
Sippin' on this ice-cold beer
(In the summertime)
And now I'm just sitting here
Tellin' tales of parrot heads and parties
He's taken' everything I've got
