lyrics

Here It Is Saturday

Sunday was a drag
I thought things couldn’t possibly get worse
But Monday I was right there on the brink
Could barely fix a drink
I may have booked a hearse
Sad Tuesday still felt cursed
And Wednesday sucked
By Thursday we were well and truly fucked
Thought Friday was the end
I prayed it all would end
Dear God please let it end

But here it is Saturday
Here it is Saturday
There’s something about Saturday
I get back up again
Here it is Saturday
Here it is Saturday
’I’m stronger on Saturday
Can’t let the bastards win

Sunday blew the most
Took one look at my phone and I was toast
Damn Monday I could not get out of bed
Did evil in my head
God’s a crazy game show host
Blue Tuesday called a friend
Wednesday they died
Thursday I felt like dirt cause it hurt my pride
I wish the world would stop
Somebody make it stop
I need this pain to stop

But here it is Saturday
Here it is Saturday
I’m counting on you Saturday
to pick me up again
Here it is Saturday
Here it is Saturday
’I’m stronger on Saturday
Can’t let the bastards win

Sunday was a drag
I thought things couldn't possibly get worse
