Blue Monday
Navigating the Week's Rollercoaster: Delbert McClinton's Blue Monday
Lyrics
Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Expressing dislike for the start of the workweek, feeling low or sad on Monday.
Got me workin' like a dog all day
Feeling overworked and exhausted, working tirelessly throughout the day.
Here comes Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
Anticipation of a challenging Tuesday, with the speaker already fatigued.
I'm so tired, I've got no time to play
Feeling extremely tired, lacking leisure time on Tuesday.
Look out Wednesday I'm beat to my bone
Expressing weariness, physically and emotionally drained by Wednesday.
My girl calls, I gotta tell her I'm not home
Avoiding social interactions due to exhaustion when the girl calls.
She knows Thursday is a hard workin day
Acknowledging Thursday as another demanding workday.
Til Friday I get paid
Anticipating relief on Friday when the speaker receives payment.
Oh Saturday morning, Saturday morning
Feeling rejuvenated on Saturday morning after a restful night.
All my tired has gone away
Experiencing a positive shift, fatigue dissipates on Saturday.
Got my money and my honey
Celebrating having both money and a significant other, ready for recreation.
And we're out on the town to play
Planning to go out and have fun with the partner on Saturday.
Sunday morning my head is bad
Describing a challenging Sunday morning with a headache.
But it's worth it, all the times I had
Reflecting on the worthwhile experiences despite the Sunday morning challenges.
But I've still got to get my rest
Recognizing the need for rest despite the previous enjoyment.
For Monday is a mess Saturday morning,
Highlighting the contrast between the enjoyable Saturday and the impending messy Monday.
Oh Satirday morning
Reiteration of the positive shift on Saturday morning.
All my tired has gone away
Rejuvenation and energy restoration continuing on Saturday.
Me and my honey, we got some money
Enjoying both financial means and companionship, ready for socializing.
And were out on the town play
Planning to engage in recreational activities with a partner.
Sunday morning my head is bad
Acknowledging a challenging Sunday morning with a bad head.
But it's worth all the times I had
Reflecting on the value of past experiences despite Sunday morning challenges.
But I've got to go and get some rest
Acknowledging the need for rest to prepare for the challenging Monday ahead.
For Monday is a mess!
Summarizing the anticipation of a difficult Monday, underscoring the recurring cycle.
