Sitting in The Midday Sun — текст песни (Kinks)

(sung by the tramp)



Im sitting by the side of a river

Underneath the pale blue sky

Ive got no need to worry, Im in no hurry

Im looking at the world go by.



Just sitting in the midday sun,

Just soaking up that currant bun,

With no particular purpose or reason

Sitting in the midday sun.



Everybody say Im lazy

They all tell me get a job you slob,

Id rather be a hobo walking round with nothing

Than a rich man scared of losing all hes got.



So Im just sitting in the midday sun

Just soaking up that currant bun,

Why should I have to give my reasons

For sitting in the midday sun



Oh look at all the ladies

Looking their best in their summer dresses,

Oh sitting in the sun.

Ive got no home,

Ive got no money

But who needs a job when its sunny. wah wah.



I havent got a steady occupation

And I cant afford a telephone.

I havent got a stereo, radio or video

A mortgage, overdraft, a bank loan.



The only way that I can get my fun

Is by sitting in the midday sun

With no particular purpose or reason

Sitting in the midday sun.



Oh listen to the people,

Say Im a failure and Ive got nothing,

Ah but if they would only see

Ive got my pride,

Ive got no money,

But who needs a job when its sunny. wah wah.



Everybody thinks Im crazy,

And everybody says Im dumb,

But when I see the people shouting at each other

Id rather be an out of work bum.



So Im just sitting in the midday sun

Just soaking up that currant bun,

With no particular purpose or reason

Sitting in the midday sun.
