Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I'll get my pay

Saturday morning, oh Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the town to play
Sunday morning, my head is bad
But it's worth it, for the times that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess
