Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But, I can't be late
'Cause then, I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

Chorus:
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause, that's my fun day
My "I don't have to run" day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an airplane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause, it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But, the boss is already there

Chorus

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down (last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
"C'mon, honey, let's go make some noise"
Time, it goes so fast
When you're having fun
