Sunny Afternoon

• Tune and original words: Ray Davies
• New words: John Ireson

The Chan­cel­lor’s tak­en all my dough
And left me in my coun­cil home
Laz­ing on a sun­ny afternoon

I can’t have my friends to stay
He’s tak­en my spsre room away
All I’ve got’s this sun­ny afternoon

Save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
I’ve got a Fat Cat Chan­cel­lor tryin’ to break me
I just want to live quite modestly
Don’t crave no life of luxury
Laz­ing on a sun­ny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

They’ve tak­en back my Mota­bil­i­ty car — Dis­abil­i­ty cuts have gone too far!
Why do some folks keep vot­ing Tory?
Now I’m sit­ting here
Can’t afford no ice cold beer
Laz­ing on a sun­ny afternoon
