Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know ya, where I stand

(Monday morning) here I am
Want you to know just if you can
(Tuesday evening) where I stand
(Wednesday morning) tell myself a new day is rising
(Thursday evening) get on the rise a new day is dawning
(Friday morning) here I am
(Saturday evening) want you to know just
Want you to know just where I stand

When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too
So, to the rescue here I am
Want you to know just if you can
Where I stand, know, know, know, know, know

We'll lift our heads and give Jah praises
We'll lift our heads and give Jah praises, yeah

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet now
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can
Where I stand, know, know, know, where I stand

Monday morning, scoo-be-doop-scoop-scoop
Tuesday evening, scoo-be-doop-scoop-scoop
Wednesday morning, scoo-be-doop-scoop-scoop
Thursday evening, scoo-be-doop-scoop-scoop
Friday morning, scoo-be-doop-scoop-scoop

So to the rescue, to the rescue, to the rescue
Awake from your sleep and slumber

I remember hearing it playing in HMV Birmingham City centre as I strolled past on my way to Snow Rock to pick up my new Marin B17 downhill mtb and yes the sun was indeed shining 🌞
Awesome tune by a true Legend.

@andrewelwood3358

Savage tune. Was in Blackpool on holidays when this came out. Thought it was 99 but my mind it a bit mushy now so could’ve been 00. Those were the days. Enjoy your weekend
