WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON? |
LyricsWHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?(Papageorge) 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 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? 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 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) BRIDGE: Oh, lordy, I'm so tired I hope I don't get fired Will this day never end? But I won't say never again! WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON? --instrumental-- WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON? --instrumental-- WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON? --instrumental-- Not every day...

| Story Behind the Song: I wanted to buy sandals one warm Monday morning in Spring, but found myself stuck in traffic, in the middle of road construction with jackhammers to the right of me, jackhammers to the left, and trapped by cars in front of and behind me. No movement. In frustration, I leaned back in my seat and complained to no one in particular, "Why can't Monday morning begin at noon?" I don't know where that came from, but I thought it might be a good title for a song. |
