Lazy Sunday is a song by British beat band The Small Faces. It was written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, and appeared on the band's 1968 concept album Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and preceded the album as a successful single in spite of being released against the band's wishes - the song has a novel feel and Marriott wanted the band to be taken seriously. It is also noticeable for its distinct change of accent mid-song. The first half of the song is sung in an exaggerated Cockney accent while the second half is sung in a faux-American accent.
Lazy Sunday appears as track six on the album, and is the last track on Side A of the vinyl release.
The song was later to inspire Blur's Parklife.
