Well, here's to the people on Monday to Friday, 
     G                            D           G 
With sweat from their bodies they get the job done. 
                      C 
Six in the morning to six in the evening, 
        G                       D              G 
They're thinking about Saturday night and some fun.

Monday is over just four more days sober, 
G                          D             G 
Raisin' our glass bringing cheers to the bar. 
                            C 
Tuesday we're bitching from work to the kitchen, 
G                       D          G 
Why did they shove Saturday off so far? 
 
Verse

Wednesday it's clear, that we're now half way there, 
    G                         D                G 
Our stomachs are growlin' our throats they are dry. 
                          C 
Feel a small flicker come from my old ticker, 
   G                           D              G 
To tell you the truth, well, I thought I just died.

Here's to the people who sweat through the work week,

They leave in the morning and come home at night. 
G                        C 
All with the same things running through their minds.

Going out drinking on Saturday night.

Well, come Thursday morning I hear the same warning, 
G                              D          G 
Better come straight home when work it is done. 
                      C 
After the slavin' I'm fightin' the cravin', 
G                           D             G 
Think I'll stop in with the boys and have one.

Come Friday evening be no more grieving, 
G                           D         G 
On Monday, well, Friday was so out of sight. 
                              C 
Paycheck and work clothes and some of our buddies, 
      G                        D        G 
We're priming ourselves up for Saturday night.

I swear that I'm quittin', I'll not drink again.

We're going out drinking on Saturday night.
