THE WHITLAMS - HAPPY DAYS lyrics

Monday - my day of rest

Tuesday - I do my best

Wednesday - I wander round the town

Thursday - I get depressed

Friday - my hair's a mess

But then the weekend comes around

Yeah, I'll borrow ten bucks and go out drinking

There's a party going on and I've been thinking

We'll grab a case of beer and go down there and see what it's all about

Gonna get myself wiped out

Then Julie phoned and this is what she said

She said ain't had a holiday in the past five years

Working my fingers to the bone

Forget that grease and grime, for now it's party time

Come and leave that nine to five alone

Yeah, I'll borrow a car, we'll go out speedin'

There's a party going on and I've been needin'

Have a drink and talk with you to see what you're all about

Come and get yourself wiped out

Five days a week in the workforce is just enough to drive anyone mad

But stick with me Julie baby

It's more fun being poor than sad

(Gotta get in, gotta get out and lose some skin)

Yeah, borrow ten buck...

Party going on...

Drink some beer...

And see what it's all about

Gonna get myself

Gonna get myself

Gonna get myself wiped out
