My New Song: Another Reason why I'm Probably not a good Influence

Not because I write music, but because the subject of this song greatly condones skipping work. I wrote it for a song writing contest where the applicant's song had to include the word Monday. What resulted was the following. I hope you enjoy!

Monday Will be Sunday

Someone stop the presses/
And pull the ships to dock/
I’m cutting up the calendar/
I’m turning back the clock/
Life becomes too stressful/
And hope becomes too flat/
When work brings too much grievances/
And too much work, at that/

They say a man can’t travel time/
And that he never will/
But I can travel 24/
Just by sitting still

Chorus:
Monday will be Sunday/
If only for a day/
And we’ll hurry not to worry/
In every single way/
If you don’t tell a single soul/
I swear I’ll do the same/
And Monday will be Sunday/
If only for a day/

I think I’ll rest my weary bones/
And rest my worries too/
Then catch an early breakfast/
Sometime after 2:00/
There’s licorice ropes and daytime soaps/
And Pizza on the way/
All sitting in my schedule/
It’s a very busy day/

You may say I’m lazy/
From my ears down to my toes/
But even doing nothing/
Is doing something, I suppose/

Chorus

But now the sunlight’s fading/
And it seems our fun has passed/
Until the light bulb flickers on/
Aha! Oh my! At last!/
If Monday’s turned to Sunday/
And we’ve traded blues for greens/
Then Tuesday will be Monday/
And you know just what that means!/

Now you may work your whole life through/
But eventually you’ll find/
That your Monday will be Sunday/
It’s just a matter of time/

Chorus
