Blue Monday
DJ Fuzz featuring Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me workin' like a dog all day
Here comes Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, I've got no time to play
Look out Wednesday I'm beat to my bone
My girl calls, I gotta tell her I'm not home
She knows Thursday is a hard workin day
Til Friday I get paid
All my tired has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And we're out on the town to play
Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth it, all the times I had
But I've still got to get my rest
For Monday is a mess Saturday morning,
Oh Satirday morning
All my tired has gone away
Me and my honey, we got some money
And were out on the town play
Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth all the times I had
But I've got to go and get some rest
For Monday is a mess!
The song "Blue Monday" by DJ Fuzz featuring Jay is about the struggle of working five days a week and looking forward to the weekend. The lyrics express the feelings of exhaustion and lack of joy from having to work long hours from Monday to Friday. The singer hates Mondays because it symbolizes the start of a new work week, which means he has to work like a dog all day long. Tuesdays aren't any better because the strain continues, and he doesn't have time to relax.
On Wednesday, he's already exhausted and ends up lying to his girlfriend that he's not home because he needs to rest. Thursdays are just as tough, and he can't wait for Friday to come so he can finally get paid. On Saturday, he wakes up refreshed, knowing that he has money and time to spend with his loved one. Sunday mornings are different because he feels terrible, but he wouldn't trade the good times he had over the weekend. However, he needs to rest because Monday is just around the corner, and it means going back to work.
Overall, the song "Blue Monday" is an ode to the working class who put in long hours during the week and look forward to the weekend to unwind and have a good time.
Line by Line Meaning
Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
I despise the start of the workweek, it feels gloomy and uninviting
Got me workin' like a dog all day
I'm toiling excessively and lethargically like an overworked canine
Here comes Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
Tuesday approaches, another day of arduous labor
I'm so tired, I've got no time to play
I'm exhausted, there's no leisure time for me
Look out Wednesday I'm beat to my bone
Beware Wednesday, I am completely fatigued
My girl calls, I gotta tell her I'm not home
My significant other contacts me, I need to make an excuse to avoid talking with her
She knows Thursday is a hard workin day
My partner understands Thursday is another demanding workday
Til Friday I get paid
I'm compensated on Friday for my labor throughout the week
Oh Saturday morning, Saturday morning
Saturday morning has arrived
All my tired has gone away
My exhaustion has vanished
Got my money and my honey
I have both cash and my beloved partner
And we're out on the town to play
We're going out to enjoy ourselves
Sunday morning my head is bad
On Sunday morning I have a headache
But it's worth it, all the times I had
The fun and enjoyment from the previous night was worth the current headache
But I've still got to get my rest
Nonetheless, I need to rest
For Monday is a mess
Because Monday will be a chaotic and unpleasant day
Oh Satirday morning
Saturday morning once again
Me and my honey, we got some money
My sweetheart and I have some funds
And were out on the town play
We're spending time outside playing
But I've got to go and get some rest
Although I'm having fun, I must still rest
For Monday is a mess!
Monday is going to be a dreadful day, so I need to prepare myself
