[Intro]
Dm G C A7
Dm G C A7
[Verse]
Dm G C
I'm sitting by the side of a river
Dm G C A7
Underneath the pale blue sky
Dm G C A7
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Dm G C
I'm looking at the world go by
[Chorus]
Dm G C A7
Just sitting in the midday sun
Dm G C A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm G C A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm G C
Sitting in the midday sun
[Verse]
Dm G C A7
Everybody say I'm lazy
Dm G C A7
They all tell me get a job you slob
Dm G C A7
I'd rather be a hobo walking round with nothing
Dm G C
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got
[Chorus]
Dm G C A7
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Dm G C A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm G C A7
Why should I have to give my reasons
Dm G C C7
For sitting in the midday sun
[Bridge]
F Em
Oh look at all the ladies
G C G C
Looking their best in their summer dresses
F Em
Oh sitting in the sun
Dm
I've got no home
Em
I've got no money
F G
But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah
[Verse]
Dm G C A7
I haven't got a steady occupation
Dm G C A7
And I can't afford a telephone
Dm G C A7
I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
Dm G C A7
A mortgage, overdraft, a bank loan
[Chorus]
Dm G C A7
The only way that I can get my fun
Dm G C A7
Is by sitting in the midday sun
Dm G C A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm G C A7
Sitting in the midday sun
[Bridge]
F Em
Oh listen to the people
G C G C
Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing
F Em
Ah but if they would only see
Dm
I've got my pride
Em
I've got no money
F G
But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah
[Verse]
Dm G C A7
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
Dm G C A7
And everybody says I'm dumb
Dm G C A7
But when I see the people shouting at each other
Dm G C A7
I'd rather be an out of work bum.
[Chorus]
Dm G C A7
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Dm G C A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm G C A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm G C
Sitting in the midday sun
