Sunday
Golliwog Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up on Monday
First I think of you
Then school and education
Things I don't wanna do
Cold and boring teachers
There's nothing left to be
So there is Sunday
A little rest for me

Wake up on Tuesday
I don't wanna go
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Another boring show
I need a vacation
Some little holiday
I think tomorrow's Sunday
My favorite happy day

Yeah it's Sunday
I don't have to go to school
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday show




Friday, Saturday quickly passed away
It's Sunday, Sunday
