The O'jays – Livin' For The Weekend lyrics

Whoo!
Let me just sit down and relax a minute.
Gonna tell you about it. Huh!
Uh huh, it's Friday.
Aw, aw, aw, thank god it's Friday and I just got paid.
Goin' 'cross town, gonna pick up my lady,
Have a little bit of fun.
There's just no tellin' where I might end up.
You might see me on the east side, ha, the west side.
I'm even goin' 'cross the bridge over, 'cause I-'cause I-'cause I hear they can get down over there.
(Well, well, uh.) Owe it to myself (Well, well, uh.) doin'.
(Well, well, uh.) Gonna party. (Well, well, uh.)
I'm gonna party. (Well, well, uh.)
Party, party, party, uh.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I owe it to myself.
(Well, well, uh.) Gonna party, party. (Well, well, uh.) I

I'm just livin', yeah,
Livin' for the weekend. (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Said I'm livin' for the weekend.
I said right now I'm, are uh, livin' for the weekend.
I said this evening I'm livin' for the weekend.
For the next two days, I'm livin' for the weekend.
Gonna have a real good time. (Livin' for the weekend.)
Gonna have a real, real, real, real good time.
(Livin' for the weekend.) Gonna party, party, party, party.
Come on, y'all, let's go downtown.
Come on, y'all, let's groove. Hey, hey, hey.

From Monday to Thursday, I'm dead on my feet.
Most of the time, too tired to eat.
When I try to read the paper, I fall fast asleep.
As soon as Friday rolls around, I lay all the weekly burdens down.
I put on my glad rags and paint the town.

I'm livin' for the weekend.
Right now I'm livin' for the weekend.
Said I'm livin' for the weekend, 'cause that's when I party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, (Ah, ah) party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, (Ah, ah) party down. (Alright.)

Soon as Monday rolls around again,
I got to put all that partyin' to an end.
Got to saw off that same old grind from those five-a-day weekends.
Sometimes I get frustrated through the day,
I take off early and I just get paid.
At the time I don't really care,
Because I done took all that I can bear.

I'm livin' for the weekend. (Just uh, just about.)
Oh, oh right now, livin' for the weekend.
Heh, right now I'm livin' for the weekend. (Just about now.) Heh, 'cause that's when I party down.
(Ah, ahhh.) Party hardy, (Ah, ah) party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, (Ah, ah) party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, (Night, eh. Ay, ay, ay.) party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, (Ah, ah) party on down.

(Ah, ah) Monday, dead in my socks.
(Ah, ah) Tuesday, too tired to rock.
(Ah, ah) Wednesday, tired, wanna sleep.
(Ah, ah) Thursday, oh so weak.
(Ah, ah) Friday, (Ah, ah) party down.
(Ah, ah) Friday, (Ah, ah) party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, ay yi, party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, I party down.
(Ah, ah) Saturday, (Ah, ah) Saturday.
(Ah, ah) Saturday night. (Ah, ah) On Saturday night this time,
(Ah, ah) I'm gonna party, party, party, party.
Huh, uh, uh, party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, ow, party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, ah, party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, ow, party down.
(Ah, ah) Party hardy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
