Thank God it’s Friday,
You are all I have now here
in these greener pastures.
I work, I sweat, I hunger, I thirst:
What a Monday Morning it was
Tuesday was just as bad
Wednesday even worse!
Nothing thrilling at all on
Thursday.
Thank God it’s Friday
TGIF!
The sweet girls are here again,
I’ve become a bachelor again.
I’ll drink like a fish, drown my sorrows in the sea,
Fly like a bird further away from my nest, and
Rest in your arms.
Play the music my friend,
I’m the king of this dance floor:
I spin, I glide, I slide and fall.
Then it’s:
Tell me sweetheart, how
did I end up here?
And it’s Monday morning again,
I repeat the cycle……
