Lyrics
WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
(Papageorge)

VERSE#1
I gotta be on time for the daily grind
But it'll never end soon enough
I gotta stay alive through the nine-to-five
But today it's gonna be real tough

VERSE#2
Cause I stayed out late, I didn't hesitate
I just like to have a good ole time
But, I'm payin' the price for that extra spice
Even though it's not really a crime, tell me

CHORUS:
WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
Why does every week begin so soon?
I'm only half awake and not in tune
So, WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?

VERSE#3
There's a nine o'clock-culture shock
Stack o'paper on my desk
All my motor skills are just about nil
And I'm startin' to feel depressed

VERSE#4
Then the boss walks in and I manage a grin
Pretendin' like everything's fine
But it's just no use, cause he knows the truth
By the look of these bloodshot eyes, uh!

(Repeat CHORUS)
--Instrumental break--
(Repeat CHORUS)
