And I can't afford a telephone
With no particular purpose or reason
A mortgage, overdraft, a bank loan
And everybody says I'm dumb
The only way that I can get my fun
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
But when I see the people shouting at each other
For sitting in the midday sun
Just sitting in the midday sun
They all tell me get a job you slob
I'd rather be an out of work bum
I've got no money, but who needs a job
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
With no particular purpose or reason
Everybody say I'm lazy
I've got no money, but who needs a job
Just soaking up that currant bun
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got
With no particular purpose or reason
Just soaking up that currant bun
And I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
Oh, sitting in the sun I've got no home
Is by sitting in the midday sun
Sitting in the midday sun
Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing
Oh, look at all the ladies
I haven't got a steady occupation
Just soaking up that currant bun
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Oh, listen to the people
I'd rather be a hobo, walking round with nothing
When it's sunny, wah wah
I'm looking at the world go by
Oh, but if they would only see I've got my pride
When it's sunny, wah, wah
Why should I have to give my reasons
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Looking their best in their summer dresses
Sitting in the midday sun
