% I like lazing in the midday sun
And I like doing my thing all night
And I like swimming in the deep blue sea
Cause I'm gonna let my hair hang down
Ddim
Doing nothing is having fun, I said
With my baby that suits me right, I said
I like swimming but it don't like me, I said
I'm gonna let my skin turn brown, I said
Em7 A7 D
