[Verse 1]
Well, it's early Monday morning and the sun's just touched the sky
I'm waiting for that silver-grey old Valiant to come by
Praying that he slept in or forgotten I'm alive
So, I can go back to my bed and sleep from nine to five
People say there's nothing better than an honest, hard day's work
And the backbone of the country is a digger dressed in dirt
But Monday morning always seems to put me in reverse
I'm hungover, tired and weak, you know that there's nothing worse
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna go to work
I don't care about my pay
And it don't matter if I starve
I'd rather die than work today
Just let me sleep and dream
That every day is Saturday
And all of my commitments
Are a thousand miles away
[Verse 2]
Well, I can't believe that digging holes has helped me in any way
But fresh air and sunshine always chase my blues away
So, if I don't breathe some air or feel that sun upon my back
Then all the weekend's poison's gonna keep me in the sack
I'll wallow in self-pity, and I'll wish that I was dead
But as I said before, I'm just too weak so I'll stay here in bed
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna go to work
I don't care about my pay
And it don't matter if I starve
I'd rather die than work today
Just let me sleep and dream
That every day is Saturday
And all of my commitments
Are a thousand miles away
