Well it's a Monday mornin' And I'm already watchin' the clock I just got started And I'm already ready to stop By Wednesday I'll be movin' slow My get up might not get up and go But I'll be ok when that Friday whistle blows
(Chorus) Workin' for the weekend all week long Waitin' to wind up in some honky tonk Listenin' to a country song I'll have some money to spend on my girlfriend When Friday comes a rollin' in I'm workin' for the weekend, workin' for the weekend
I pull a forty hour week every week plus some overtime That big boss man keeps a pushin' me to the line I keep a workin' hard every day I give an honest day's work For an honest day's pay And by the end of the week I know I'll have it made in the shade
(Repeat chorus)
I'm workin' for the weekend, workin' for the weekend
