HERE COMES THE WEEKEND
(Dave Edmunds - Nick Lowe)
DAVE EDMUNDS (SWANSONG SSK 19408, 1976)

Monday ain't a fun day
Tuesday's a blue day
Wednesday's a frenzy
Thursday's the worst day
Friday is great
'Cause I can hardly wait until the weekend

I should be clockin' in at eight
But I'm a little late
Can't blame my baby, 'cause I took her on a date
Two till ten and then it's Friday again
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
My working week's so tough
I think I've had enough
Until the weekend

I've had an overdose
Of doctor's notes
But it just don't ease the pain
Goin' on the sick
Don't do the trick
Sooner or later I'll be clockin' in again

Working like a dog for a ten-hour day
Never see enough from my take-home pay
They pay me for the shift
Like they was givin' a gift
Here comes the weekend

I've had an overdose
Of doctor's notes
But it just don't ease the pain
Goin' on the sick
Don't do the trick
Sooner or later I'll be clockin' in again

Someday I'll be able to forget my working days
Life'll be a grin because my ship is comin' in
Everything will go my way and I won't have to say
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
My working week's so tough
I think I've had enough
Until the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
[Fade]
