Weekend
Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's time to pick yourself up off the floor
Well let's grab a case of lager
and some old beat up shoes
Head down to the river
I'll strap on a canoe
We've got every kind of good girl comin' down
You just grab your banjo man
We'll play the songs we always, always sing
I can take and tell a line
You can take the lead
We'll all have, a weekend awesome
Weekends coming soon
Well let's start watching TV
And washing dishes too
We've got all the time the weekdays, and all day
So lets spend it all and celebrate
Just pretend we all got paid
We'll all have, a weekend awesome
Well I know just what to do
Cause I've been here before
Cause I know what I have
Well I've been here before
Yes I've been here before
Well I've been here before
Well I've been here

As soon as she opened her mouth, I was back in High School. I used to LOVE this song.

@michaeldineen4304
Incredible music era.
@jaywill7137
Agree wholeheartedly with that statement! 70's was the deadliest era of music because it had every genre in it and nothing will ever touch it no matter how far the future may last! They were special people and geniuses who indulged entirely into their craft! Will never see that again!

Well, to be fair, this is Disco. It’s very smart and stylish disco because they took big band and made it disco unlike the other disco bands at the time. Not sure there’s been another band like this. When I was little, we had this album on vinyl.
