Lyrics
Everybody seems to hate Mondays
Expressing the common dislike for Mondays.
So I pretend I don't got nowheres to be
Pretending to have no obligations or plans.
So I sleep in, brush my teeth with some gin
Indulging in a leisurely morning routine, including brushing teeth with gin.
Lay around and catch up on some TV
Relaxing and catching up on television.
My neighbors say I'm lazy six ways 'til Sunday
Neighbors view the singer as lazy, unaware of the challenges in their life.
'Cause they don't know how hard it is to be me
Highlighting the difficulty of the singer's life that others may not understand.
I gotta pick the right boots
Choosing the right attire, emphasizing appearance.
Put on a hat to look cool
Wearing a hat to appear cool.
I ain't gotta be home 'til a quarter to three
No need to be home until late afternoon.
Livin' for the Saturday night
Living for the excitement of Saturday night.
I'm gonna raise a glass about someone you know
Toasting someone significant on Saturday night.
Livin' for the Saturday night
Reiterating the thrill of Saturday night.
I'm gonna raise a little Cain
Planning to cause a bit of chaos.
This town's gonna remember my name
Ambition for the town to remember the singer.
Do do do do
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm, no specific meaning.
Do do do do dow do do do do
-Do do do do dow do do do do
-Do do do do dow do do do do
-Do do do do dow
-I used to have a job that made money
Previous job lost due to frequent firings.
But my boss got sick of firin' me
Boss tired of firing the singer.
So now I show up on time
Commitment to punctuality, even after midnight.
Even if it's after midnight
Working at a bar, enjoying drinks.
I work in the bar, I'm havin' them drinks
People find humor in the singer's work situation.
People laugh 'cause they think it's just funny
Mentioning a reputation to maintain.
When I say I got a reputation to keep
Emphasizing the impact when entering a room.
'Cause when I walk in a room
Causing a stir and having a significant presence.
I'm doin' damage real soon
Favorite decoration is partying until 3 AM.
My favorite decoration is just party 'til three
Empty line, no specific meaning.
Livin' for the Saturday night
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm, no specific meaning.
I'm gonna raise a glass about someone you know
-Livin' for the Saturday night
-I'm gonna raise a little Cain
-This town's gonna remember my name
-Do do do do
-Do do do do dow do do do do
-Do do do do dow
-Between Friday and Sunday
Declaring the singer as a king between Friday and Sunday.
I'm a king (he's a king)
-Between Friday and Sunday
-I'm a king (he's a king)
-Between Friday and Sunday
-I'm the king (he's a king)
-Between Friday and Sunday
-I'm the king
-Oh, livin' for the Saturday night
Reiteration of living for Saturday night and making a memorable impact.
I'm gonna raise a glass about someone you know
-Livin' for the Saturday night
-I'm gonna raise a little Cain
-This town's gonna remember my name
-Livin' for the Saturday night
-Oh, I'm gonna raise a glass about someone you know
-Livin' for the Saturday night
-Oh, I'm gonna raise a little Cain
-This town's gonna remember my name
Expressing the desire for the town to remember the singer's name.
