Sunday Afternoon
Max Roach His Chorus And Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tuesday I go off to honeymoon
I'll be back again before it's time for sunny-down,
I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday I go waltzing to the zoo
I come from London Town, I'm just an ordinary guy
Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
I'll be lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon
The lyrics of Max Roach His Chorus And Orchestra's song, "Sunday Afternoon," paint a picture of a man who lives a carefree and leisurely lifestyle. He explains that he goes to work on Monday, but by Tuesday he is off on a honeymoon. He comes back from his honeymoon quickly, however, so that he can laze around on a Sunday afternoon. The man then describes his week, where he bicycles on Wednesdays, goes to the zoo to waltz on Thursdays, and paints in the Louvre on Fridays. He reveals that he is just an ordinary man from London town who is bound to propose on a Saturday night.
The lyrics of this song highlight a carefree perspective on life that is focused on enjoying the moment. The man is not worried about the future or the past, but rather takes joy in the present moment. His life is filled with diverse activities, from going to work to going to the zoo to planning a proposal. He sees himself as an ordinary man without anything particularly noteworthy about him. He is content with his simple life and is happy to spend a Sunday afternoon leisurely.
