The Kinks - Sitting in the Midday Sun lyrics
[The Kinks - Sitting in the Midday Sun lyrics]
Underneath the pale blue sky
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
I'm looking at the world go by
Just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
With no particular purpose or reason
Sitting in the midday sun
Everybody say I'm lazy
They all tell me get a job you slob
I'd rather be a hobo
Walking round with nothing
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
Why should I have to give my reasons
For sitting in the midday sun
Oh look at all the ladies
Looking their best in their summer dresses
Oh sitting in the sun i've got no home
I've got no money
But who needs a job when it's sunny wah Wah
I haven't got a steady occupation
And I can't afford a telephone
I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
A mortgage, overdraft, or a bank loan
The only way that I can get my fun
Is by sitting in the midday sun
With no particular purpose or reason
Sitting in the midday sun
Oh listen to the people who
Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing
Ah but if they would only see
I've got my pride i've got no money
But who needs a job when it's sunny wah Wah
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
And everybody says I'm dumb
But when I see the people
Shouting at each other
I'd rather be an out of work bum
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
With no particular purpose or reason
Sitting in the midday sun
