Sunny Afternoon" is a song by the Kinks, written by chief songwriter Ray Davies. The track later featured on the Face to Face album as well as being the title track for their 1967 compilation album. Like its contemporary "Taxman" by The Beatles, the song references the high levels of progressive tax taken by the British Labour government of Harold Wilson.

Produced by Shel Talmy. Sunny Afternoon Lyrics. The tax man's taken all my dough And left me in my stately home Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht He's taken everythin' I've got All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime, in the summertime In the summertime. About Sunny Afternoon. The Kinks' biggest hit (with Apologies to Lola’s advocates) from 1966, the first in a long string of satirical hits – in this case criticizing the privileged ones who suffered from the imposition of the new progressive tax in England. Sunny Afternoon" Track Info.

At the time I wrote Sunny Afternoon I couldn't listen to anything. I was only playing The Greatest Hits of Frank Sinatra and Dylan's Maggie's Farm - I just liked it's whole presence, I was playing the Bringing It All Back Home LP along with my Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller and Bach - it was a strange time. I thought they all helped one another, they went into the chromatic part that's in the back of the song. I once made a drawing of my voice on 'Sunny Afternoon. It was a leaf with a very thick outline - a big blob in the background - the leaf just cutting.
