Foghat - Seven day weekend Lyrics

oh yeah
alright

I had myself a good job in the city
pushin' a pen and talkin' on the phone
the money was good but the work was such a big drag
I thought that my brain would turn to stone

but I ain't gonna work no more
I've got better things to do, I do
I need a seven day weekend
spend some time with you, mmm hmm

they told me if I stayed on for a lifetime
I'd be an office manager some day
but my heart was never in the right place
I only went there for the pay

but I ain't gonna work no more
I've got better things to do, mmm hmm
I need a seven day weekend
spend some time with you, oh yeah

well on friday, the weekend rolls around
saturday, I'm gonna rock this town
on sunday, won't have to worry no more
'cause monday ain't so bad when there's no work in store

I guess the money comes in handy
it helps me pay the bills and rent
but if I stay too long on this job
I'll wonder where my time all went

but I ain't gonna work no more
I've got better things to do, doo-bah-doo
I need a seven day weekend
spend some time with you, oh come on

whoo

well tuesday, I'll hang out the beach
wednesday, this boy can not be reached
thursday, I'll stand out in the rain
when friday comes, I'll start all over again

but I ain't gonna work no more
I've got better things to do, you know I do
I need a seven day weekend
spend some time with you, mmm hmm
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you (2x)
oh yeah
