Friday Night
Shires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, every day like a deja vu
Monday, Monday
It's no fun,
There's something that's gotta be done
Can't you see, I just wanna feel
Young, young again
So give me that
One day, one day
Well if you wanna say, hey, take a shot
1, 2, 3, 4, line them up
Well, it's alright, on a Friday night
You don't wanna go home
No, no, no
It's not too late to rock and roll
No, it's alright
You can, get a little drunk on a Friday night
(Night, night)
Get a little drunk on a Friday night
(Night, night)
So hey, tell me what you're drinking
And I, I'll tell you what I'm thinking
Now, now
It wouldn't be wrong
If you stayed here all night long
Forget about all your 'should do', 'have to's'
Leave them till tomorrow
Well if you wanna say, hey, take a shot
1, 2, 3, 4, line them up
Well, it's alright, on a Friday night
You don't wanna go home
No, no, no
It's not too late to rock and roll
No, it's alright
You can, get a little drunk on a Friday night
(Night, night)
Get a little drunk on a Friday night
(Night, night)
(Put those glasses in the air!)
(Put those glasses in the air!)
So hey, tell me what you're drinking
And I, I'll tell you what I'm thinking
Now, now.
Well if you wanna say, hey, take a shot
1, 2, 3, 4, line them up
Well, it's alright, on a Friday night
You don't wanna go home
No, no, no
It's not too late to rock and roll
No, it's alright
You can, get a little drunk on a Friday night
(Night, night)
Get a little drunk on a Friday night
(Night, night)
(Put those glasses in the air)
(Night, night, night)
Hey, you can, get a little drunk on a Friday night
