Sunny Afternoon — текст песни (The Kinks)

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 ev`rything I`ve 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 tyin` to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly

live this life of luxury:
lazing on a sunny afternoon

in Summertime
in summertime

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 life of luxury:
lazing on a sunny afternoon

in Summertime
in summertime

in summertime.
