livin for the weekend

The O Jays

Let me just sit down
And relax a minute
Let me tell you about it

A ha, it s Friday
Oh, ho, thank God it s Friday
And I just got paid

Going across town
Gonna pick up my lady
Have a little bit of fun
Just ain t no telling
Where I might end up

You might see me
On the East side
Ha, the West side
I m even going cross the bridge
Cause I, cause I
Cause I hear they really
Get down over there

Owe it to myself
(Well, well, I)
Gonna party
(Well, well, I)
Gonna party

I owe it to myself
(Well, well, I)
Oh, party, party

I m just living, yeah
(Living for the weekend)
Woo hoo, said I m-a
(Living for the weekend)
I said right now, I m
(Living for the weekend)
I said this evening
(Living for the weekend)
For the next two days
(Living for the weekend)
Gonna have a real good time
(Living for the weekend)
Gonna have a real, real
Real good time
(Living for the weekend)
Gonna party hard, hard

Come on, y all
Let s go downtown
Come on, y all
Let s groove
Hey, hey

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

But as soon as Friday rolls around
I lay all my weekly burdens down
I put on my glad rags
And paint the town

Friday night alive
(Living for the weekend)
Said, I m living for the weekend
(Living for the weekend)
Don t stop when I party down

Party hard, party down
Party hard, party down

Soon as on Monday
Rolls around again
I got to put all that
Partying to an end

Got to solve that same old grind
With those five day week
Sometimes, I get frustrated
Through the day, take off early
And a cut in pay

At the time, I don t really care
Because I done took
All that I can bear

That s when I party down

Party hard, party down
