Sunny Afternoon — текст песни (Tom Jones)

Words and music by Raymond Davies

In the summertime

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 everything I`ve got

All I`ve got`s this sunny afternoon

Save me, from this squeeze

I`ve got a big fat momma tryin` to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime (everything seems fine)

My girlfriend`s gone off with my car

And gone back to her ma and pa

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

And now I`m sitting here

Sipping on my ice cold beer

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, sail away

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 the summertime

Everything is fine because it`s the summertime

In the summertime

(I don`t care about a doggone thing)

in the summertime

(I`m broke, I`ve skint, but it`s the summertime)

In the summertime

(even though I ain`t got a dime, in the summertime, I don`t have a dime)

In the summertime

(I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine)

In the summertime

(Nothing seems to matter)
