Blue Monday
Fats Domino Lyrics
Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Got me workin' like a slave all day
Here comes Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, I've got no time to play
Here come Wednesday I'm beat to my side
My girl calls, I gotta tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard-workin' day and Friday I get my pay
Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tired has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play
Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth it, all the times I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess
Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tired has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play
Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth it, all the times I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

What a smooth soulful voice, Fats could sing the business pages of a phone book and make it a no. 1 hit. R.I.P. My friend.
John Carter
Saw him in '56, still best show I ever saw. RIP Fats.

RIP! "Blue Monday" is probably my fave song of this great artist! The first song I remember hearing from him about 10 years ago.
