Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Rama-lama-lama, bop-she-bop-she-bop, seven-day weekend)
Well, I wish that I could have myself, a seven-day weekend
Tired of sittin' on the shelf until the weekend
Friday after school, I pick my baby up
We dance and party till Sunday night
I wish that there could be a seven-day weekend
I'm gonna make a plea for a seven-day weekend
And if it came about, life would be success
I'd run on out and have a ball
And never go to school at all
Monday, seven picture shows
Tuesday, you know, anything goes
A-Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too
I'd party and Twist the whole week through
All day I dream about a seven-day weekend
I sit and scheme and scheme and scheme
'Bout a seven-day weekend
The teacher calls my name and I'm in another world
I'm just thinkin' about a seven-day weekend
Yay-yay-yay-yay-yeah
A-well, Monday, a-seven picture shows
You know, Tuesday, yeah, anything goes
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too
I'd party and Twist the whole week through
All day I dream about a seven-day weekend
I sit and scheme and scheme and scheme
'Bout a seven-day weekend
The teacher calls my name and I'm in another world
I'm just thinkin' about a seven-day weekend
Yeah! A seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Don'tcha know I'm thinkin' 'bout a seven-day
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Yeah! A seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
I'm thinkin' 'bout a seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Yeah, seven-day, seven-day
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Yeah! A seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Wo!
The song "Seven Day Weekend" by Gary U.S. Bonds expresses the desire for more time to spend with loved ones and to simply have fun. The opening lines "Rama-lama-lama, bop-she-bop-she-bop, seven-day weekend" set the tone for a fun and playful song drawing on doo-wop influences. The singer longs for a "seven-day weekend" where he could spend all his time with his lover and party to his heart's content. The monotony of work or school has made him feel like he's "sitting on the shelf," waiting for the weekend to arrive. The only time he can dance and hold his lover is on the weekend. He daydreams about the possibility of a seven-day weekend and what he would do if he had all that free time.
The song captures a sense of youthful yearning for freedom and for breaking out of the ordinary routine. The repeated use of "Rama-lama-lama, bop-she-bop-she-bop" and other nonsensical vocalizations highlight the sheer joy of letting go and just having fun. The lyrics also touch on the universal desire to be able to spend more quality time with loved ones, highlighting the importance of relationships in our lives.
