Intro: G#m C# F# D#7 G#m C# F# D#7 G#m
C# F# G#m
I'm sitting by the side of a river
C# F#
Underneath the pale blue sky
G#m C# F#
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
G#m C# F# G#m
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
C# F# D#7 G#m
Just sitting in the midday sun
C# F# D#7 G#m
Just soaking up that currant bun
C# F# D#7
With no particular purpose or reason
G#m C# F# G#m
Sitting in the midday sun
C# F#
Everybody see I'm lazing
G#m C# F#
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
G#m C# F#
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
G#m C# F# G#m
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
C# F# D#7 G#m
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
C# F# D#7 G#m
Just soaking up that currant bun
C# F# D#7
With no particular purpose or reason
G#m C# F# B
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
A#m
Ohh, look at all the lazies
G#m F# C# F# B
Looking their best in their summer dresses
A#m
Ohh, sitting in the sun
G#m A#m
I've got no home, I've got no money
B C# G#m
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
C# F# G#m
Haven't got a steady occupation
C# F# G#m
And I can't afford a telephone
C# F# D#7 G#m
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
C# F# G#m
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
C# F# D#7 G#m
The only way that I can get my fun
C# F# D#7 G#m
Is by soaking up the midday sun
C# F# D#7
I don't have to give my reason
G#m C# F# B
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
A#m
Ohh, listen to the people
G#m F# C# F# B
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
A#m
Ohh, if they could only see
G#m A#m
I've got my pride, I've got no money
B C# G#m
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
C# F# D#7 G#m
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
C# F# D#7 G#m
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
C# F# D#7
With no particular purpose or reason
G#m C# F# D#7
Sitting in the midday sun
G#m C# F# D#7
Sitting in the midday sun
G#m C# F#
Sitting in the midday sun
