    from monday to thursday i’m dead on my feet
    most of the time too tired to eat
    when i try to read the paper i fall fast asleep
    as soon as friday rolls around
    i lay all the weekly burdens down
    i put on my glad rags and paint the town

    i’m livin’ for the weekend
    right now i’m livin’ for the weekend
    said i’m livin’ for the weekend
    ’cause that’s when i party down

    soon as monday rolls around again
    i got to put all that partyin’ to an end
    got to swap that same old grind
    with those 5aday weekends

    sometimes i get frustrated through the day
    i take off early and i just get paid
    at that time i don’t really care
    because i done took all that i can bear
