The O'Jays - Livin' For the Weekend, Pt. 1-2

Whoo!
Let me just sit down and relax a minute
Gonna tell you about it huh
Uh huh, it's friday
Aw, aw, aw, thank god it's friday and I just got paid
Goin' 'cross town
Gonna pick up my lady
Have a little bit of fun
Just ain't no tellin' where I might end up
You might see me on the east side
Ha, the west side
I'm even gonna cross the bridge over
'Cause i, 'cause i, 'cause I hear they can really get down over there
(Well, well, ah) owe it to myself

Livin' for the weekend (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Said I'm livin' for the weeknd
I said right now, I'm, are, uh, livin' for the weekend
I said this evening, I'm livin' for the weekend
For the next two days, I'm livin' for the weekend
Gonna have a real good time (livin' for the weekend)
Gonna have a real, real, real good time (livin' for the weekend)
Gonna party, party, party, party
Come on, y'all, let's go downtown
Come on, y'all, let's groove
Hey, hey, hey

From 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
As soon as friday rolls around
I lay all the weekly burdens down
I put on my glad rags and paint the town

I'm livin' for the weekend
Right now, I'm livin' for the weekend
Said I'm livin' for the weekend,
'Cause that's when I party down
(Ah, ah) party hardy, (ah, ah) party down
(Ah, ah) party hardy, (ah, ah) party down (alright)

Soon as monday rolls around again
I've got to put all that partyin' to an end
Got to swap that same old grind with those 5-a-day weekends
Sometimes I get frustrated through the day
I take off early and a cut in pay
At that time, I don't really care
Because I done took all that I can bear

I'm livin' for the weekend (just, just about)
Oh, oh, right now, livin' for the weekend (just about now)
Heh, right now, I'm livin' for the weekend,
Heh, 'cause that's when I party down (ay, ay)
(Ah, ah) party hardy, (ah, ah) party down
(Ah, ah) party hardy, (ah, ah) party down
(Ah, ah) party hardy, (ah, ah) party down (ay, ay, ay)
(Ah, ah) party hardy, (ah, ah) party on down

(Ah, ah) monday, dead to my socks
(Ah, ah) tuesday, too tired to rock
(Ah, ah) wednesday, tired, wanna sleep
(Ah, ah) thursday, oh, so weak
(Ah, ah) friday, party down
(Ah, ah) friday, party down
(Ah, ah) party hardy, ay, ay, party down
(Ah, ah) party hardy, ah, party down
(Ah, ah) saturday, saturday

(Ah, ah) ah, ah, ah, ay, ay, ay, ay
(Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Such a good time I had (ay, ay, ay, ay, yi, yi)
What a real good time that I had last night, y'all
(What a time I had this weekend)
(See you again at the same time) see you again at the same place
(Well, well, ah) next weekend
