Friday On My Mind
Escape the Week's Grind: Embracing Friday's Liberation
Lyrics
Monday mornin' feels so bad
Expressing the dissatisfaction or blues associated with Monday morning.
Ev'rybody seems to nag me
Feeling bothered or annoyed by everyone around.
Comin' Tuesday I feel better
Anticipation of feeling better as Tuesday approaches.
Even my old man looks good
Positive perspective on seeing even the narrator's father in a good light.
Wed'sday just don't go

Thursday goes too slow
Expressing impatience with Thursday, perceiving it as dragging on.
I've got Friday on my mind
Excitement and anticipation for Friday, a positive and desired day.
Gonna have fun in the city
Looking forward to enjoying oneself in the city.
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
Expressing admiration for the narrator's attractive girl.
She looks fine tonight
Complimenting the girl's appearance and expressing excitement about the evening.
She is out of sight to me
Describing the girl as exceptionally appealing or impressive.
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
Planning to spend money tonight.
I'll lose my head, tonight
Expecting to lose control or have a wild time tonight.
I've got to get to night
Feeling the urgency or importance of the approaching night.
Monday I'll have Friday on my mind
Anticipating that Monday will be overshadowed by thoughts of Friday.
Do the five day grind once more
Expressing the monotony of the five-day work grind.
I know of nothin' else that bugs me
Nothing else is as bothersome as working for the wealthy.
More than workin' for the rich man
Expressing discontent with working for rich individuals.
Hey! I'll change that scene one day
Expressing a desire to change the current situation one day.
Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad
Acknowledging fluctuating emotions, emphasizing the transience of feelings.
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind
Anticipating the happiness associated with Friday on the horizon.
Gonna have fun in the city

She looks fine tonight.
Complimenting the girl's appearance again.
She is out of sight to me
