If we tell you that you've got two days to live
Then don't complain, 'cos that's one more than you'd get in Zaire -
So don't hang around and be foolish
Do something constructive with your weekend -
From Monday morning I work for Friday nights
Collect my wages, then try to paint on the smell of soap -

'Cause tonight I get ready early
Score what I need and go pick a girl up
It seems like ages since we had some fun -

Here comes the weekend - I get to see the girls
Long live the weekend, the weekend is here
(the weekend starts here)

Everything feels right now
I know why I'm alive now
Everything else is a lie now
Now I know why I'm here

Here comes the weekend - I'm gonna do my head
Long live the weekend, the weekend is dead
