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.
  
   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, 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,
   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.
