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
