The tax man'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 mamma trying to break me.
Chorus: And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon.
My girlfriend drove off with my car, drove back to her Ma and Pa, telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
But I'm just sitting here, sipping on this ice cold beer, on a sunny afternoon.
Help me steal away. Gimme ten whole reasons I should even stay.
