Roll outa bed on a monday morning
Already the boss is calling
Slept in a little too late
I reckon last night was a big mistake
I’m dry as a chip
My head aches
I now its gunna be a long five days
Now we’ll be musterin’ cattle most of the day
Cleanin’ out troughs and feedin’ out hay
Fix the gate on the boundary fence
And it’s back to the yards to brand and drench
Got a sale on wednesday mornin’
Load ‘em up at the crack of dawn
Long days and not much pay
You earn your beer so i can’t complain
Waitin’ for friday to come
See the boss grab the cheque and run
We work for our board
And we work for our keep
And we work for our turps at the end of the week
We got a 95k trip into town
We’ll be cruisin’ down the road when the sun goes down
Couldn’t be a better time of day
And i know this one is gunna be a bender
It’ll be one to remember
Friday, saturday, sunday all the way
We’re drinkin’ down our pay
10am wake up at the pub
Brush our teeth and get some grub
Today gunna go for a drive
The rugby’s on in narabrai
Go along cheer on the boys
Us girls are gunna make some noise
Got a slab in the esky too
We’re all set ‘til the game is through
Gotta get back into town
Fill ‘er up and the foot goes down
There’s a party on at spud’s tonight
So we’ll do it all again until the mornin’ light
We got a 95k trip into town
We’ll be cruisin’ down the road when the sun goes down
Couldn’t be a better time of day
And i know this one is gunna be a bender
It’ll be one to remember
Friday, saturday, sunday all the way
We’re drinkin’ down our pay
Next week we’ll drag but that’s ok
We live for the weekend
When friday afternoon is here is starts all up again
We got a 95k trip into town
We’ll be cruisin’ down the road when the sun goes down
Couldn’t be a better time of day
And i know this one is gunna be a bender
It’ll be one to remember
Friday, saturday, sunday all the way
Oh friday, saturday, sunday all the way
We’re drinkin’ down our pay
