Intro: A#m D# G# F7 A#m D# G# F7 A#m
D# G# A#m
I'm sitting by the side of a river
D# G#
Underneath the pale blue sky
A#m D# G#
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
A#m D# G# A#m
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
D# G# F7 A#m
Just sitting in the midday sun
D# G# F7 A#m
Just soaking up that currant bun
D# G# F7
With no particular purpose or reason
A#m D# G# A#m
Sitting in the midday sun
D# G#
Everybody see I'm lazing
A#m D# G#
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
A#m D# G#
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
A#m D# G# A#m
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
D# G# F7 A#m
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
D# G# F7 A#m
Just soaking up that currant bun
D# G# F7
With no particular purpose or reason
A#m D# G# C#
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Cm
Ohh, look at all the lazies
A#m G# D# G# C#
Looking their best in their summer dresses
Cm
Ohh, sitting in the sun
A#m Cm
I've got no home, I've got no money
C# D# A#m
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
D# G# A#m
Haven't got a steady occupation
D# G# A#m
And I can't afford a telephone
D# G# F7 A#m
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
D# G# A#m
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
D# G# F7 A#m
The only way that I can get my fun
D# G# F7 A#m
Is by soaking up the midday sun
D# G# F7
I don't have to give my reason
A#m D# G# C#
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Cm
Ohh, listen to the people
A#m G# D# G# C#
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
Cm
Ohh, if they could only see
A#m Cm
I've got my pride, I've got no money
C# D# A#m
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
D# G# F7 A#m
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
D# G# F7 A#m
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
D# G# F7
With no particular purpose or reason
A#m D# G# F7
Sitting in the midday sun
A#m D# G# F7
Sitting in the midday sun
A#m D# G#
Sitting in the midday sun
