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
