Sunny Afternoon — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

Sunny afternoon

By: ray davies

1966

The taxmans taken all my dough

And left me in this stately home

Lazin on a sunny afternoon



And I cant even sail my yacht

Hes taken everything Ive got

All Ive gots this sunny afternoon

In the summertime...



Chorus:

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze

Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazin on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime...



My girlfriends run off with my car

And gone back to her ma and pa

Tellin tales of parrotheads and parties



And now Im just sitting here

Sippin on this ice-cold beer

Lazin on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime...



Help me, help me, help me sail away

Well, give me two good reason why I ought to stay

cause I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazy on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime...

In the summertime...

In the summertime...



Chorus:

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze

Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazy on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime...

In the summertime...

In the summertime...

In the summertime...



Taxmans taken all my dough (in the summertime)

Gonna find that passport and outta here I go

(in the summertime)



--spoken:

"catch me a flight to st. somewhere and get out of this cold

Weather. go somewhere where no body knows my name

Gotta keep my mouth shut. try to go to confession at least once

A week. somewhere preferably south of the equator, I believe.

Where its summertime, where winter spends the summer. somewhere

Like that."



(in the summertime...)
