Sitting In The Midday Sun

(Sung by The Tramp) [Intro] [Verse] I’m sitting by the side of a river 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 [Chorus] Just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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      [Bridge] 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 [Verse] 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 a bank loan     [Chorus] 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          [Bridge] Oh listen to the people 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 [Verse] Everybody thinks I’m crazy         And everybody says I’m dumb        But when I see the people shouting at each other                                                                                                    [Chorus] 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
