Never on Sunday
A Week of Love: Unveiling the Hidden Messages in Ramsey Lewis' Melody
Lyrics
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
Expressing openness to affection on Mondays.
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Emphasizing the positivity of Mondays for kissing.
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
Extending the invitation to be kissed on Tuesdays.
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Expressing a preference for being kissed on Tuesdays.
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
Suggesting the option of being kissed on Wednesdays.
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
Highlighting that Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are ideal for kisses.
But never, never on a Sunday
Setting a boundary against being kissed on Sundays.
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Reiterating the prohibition on kissing on Sundays due to rest.
Most any day you can be my guest
Welcoming the possibility of being a guest on most days.
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Indicating flexibility but emphasizing the day of rest.
Just name the day that you like the best
Allowing the other person to choose their preferred day.
Only stay away on my day of rest
Insisting on avoiding contact on the speaker's day of rest.
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
Expanding the acceptable days to cool, hot, or wet days.
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Leaving the choice of the day to the other person.
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
Suggesting openness to being kissed on various occasions, including May day.
A pay day, and see if I refuse
Linking the willingness to be kissed to payday.
And if you make it on a bleak day
Allowing for being kissed on bleak, freak, or weekday conditions.
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
Reiterating the willingness to be a guest on specified days.
But never, never on a Sunday
Restating the prohibition against kissing on Sundays.
