Thank Heavens, It's Friday
THANK HEAVENS, IT'S FRIDAY
No matter; how much you felt about Thursday, Friday, is another day
For the most of us, at the end of the month, it's when we get our pay
Strange to be, the work's elevator up smells, an awful lot more sweet
No more; are the crumpled clothes, everybody is looking dapper neat
Better still today; we'll get to finish work early at three instead of five
It does something to flagging souls, as we all become somewhat alive
There's an excitement in the air; everyone finishes their piles of work
As a cry and laughter from the first one out; the last one out is a jerk
Mad dash for the elevator; hand mirrors out, lipstick getting smudged
From too many worker's piling into the lift and elbows getting nudged
Some are dashing home to loved ones; other's are off to the local pub
After a whole darn month of working, who are we on others to grudge
Landlords know on this payday Friday; they are about to make a steal
And; even better, if the workers are stopping, for a freshly made meal
John now Ada has decided once and for all; declares she's coming out
To all the whoops of encouragement, and a good on you is their shout
The single lads then moving in on the single lasses, with a dying hope
But; the lasses have their sights set much higher as reply with a nope
The work bikers in the corner enthusiastically plan their weekend trips
For them all should go well; just as long as there are no weather blips
Those left who have the energy; it is off, for a round at the night clubs
As, trying to dance their one steps, to some funky groovy reggae dubs
Come the end of the evening; most of the workers, are worse for wear
Lads jackets off, shirts undone, lasses tights ripped; but, nobody cares
It hard to believe that a whole month's pay, now half spent in the bars
This daft load of Friday office workers, with their heads up, in the stars
