The Jam Here Comes the Weekend song lyrics

If we tell you that you've got two days to live

Then don't complain, 'cos that's one more than you'd get in Zaire

So don't hang around and be foolish

Do something constructive with your weekend

From Monday morning I work for Friday nights

Collect my wages, then try to paint on the smell of soap

'Cause tonight I get ready early

Score what I need and go pick a girl up

It seems like ages since we had some fun

Here comes the weekend - I get to see the girls

Long live the weekend, the weekend is here

(The weekend starts here)

Everything feels right now

I know why I'm alive now

Everything else is a lie now

Now I know why I'm here

Here comes the weekend

I'm gonna do my head

Long live the weekend

The weekend is dead
