You look surprised You didn't think you'd see me Kicking up my heels Painting up this toen When you said goodbye I learned a couple new dances I cast a couple of glances I'm on a big roll now Except for Monday, which was never good anyway Tuesday, I get a little side ways Wednesday, I feel better just for spite Thursday and Friday take too long Before I know it, Saturday's gone But it's Sunday now and you can bet that I'm all right Dont' get me wrong It wasn't always this easy Getting over you Got a little rough on me Didn't take too long 'Til I got it together And everyday I thank my lucky stars you set me free Except for Monday, which was never good anyway Tuesday, I get a little side ways Wednesday, I feel better just for spite Thursday and Friday take too long Before I know it, Saturday's gone But it's Sunday now and you can bet that I'm all right Except for Monday, which was never good anyway Tuesday, I get a little side ways Wednesday, I feel better just for spite Thursday and Friday take too long Before I know it, Saturday's gone But it's Sunday now and you can bet that I'm all right
