Sitting in the Midday Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1: The Tramp]
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

[Refrain: The Tramp]
Just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
With no particular purpose or reason
Sitting in the midday sun

[Verse 2: The Tramp]
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

[Refrain: The Tramp]
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

[Chorus: The Tramp]
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? Woah, woah

[Verse 3: The Tramp]
I haven't got a steady occupation
And I can't afford a telephone
And I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
A mortgage, overdraft, or bank loan

[Refrain: The Tramp]
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

[Chorus: The Tramp]
Oh, listen to the people who
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? Woah, woah

[Verse 4: The Tramp]
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

[Refrain: The Tramp]
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
With no particular purpose or reason
I'm sitting in the midday sun
