Verse:
Dm C
The taxman's taken all my dough,
F C
and left me in my stately home,

And I can't sail my yacht,
F C
he's taken everything I've got.

All I've got's this sunny afternoon.
Chorus:
D G7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,

I've got a big fat mama tryin' to break me.
Dm G7
And I love to live so pleasantly,

Live this life of luxury,

lazin' on a sunny afternoon, In the summertime..
