about

Most people, well those that work Monday to Friday that is, hate Monday morning and don't want to get out of bed to go to work. A bit of a bluesy tune depicting one man's reluctance to arise.

lyrics

Monday Morning Blues
by Darryl John (c) 2010

The alarm is ringing,
(But) I won’t move.
I just wanna stay here,
In this comfy groove.
I’m gonna stay in bed all day,
That’s what I choose.
Don’t ya know now Baby,
(I’ve) got those Monday morning blues.

The alarm’s still ringing,
But I don’t care.
Just the thought of work,
Is way too much to bear.
I’m gonna stay in bed all day,
That’s what I choose.
Don’t ya know now Sugar,
(I’ve) got those Monday morning blues.

CHORUS 1:
Monday morning,
Sure is bad.
The weekend’s over,
I’m really sad.
When Friday’s gone,
I’m oh so glad.
Work ‘s all done,
Fun times to be had.

The wife is shouting,
Get out of bed.
Move your lazy bones,
You sleepy head,
I’m gonna stay in bed all day,
That’s what I choose.
Don’t ya know now Honey,
(I’ve) got those Monday morning blues.

INSTRUMENTAL 1 (same as a verse)

CHORUS 2:
Monday morning,
Sure is bad.
The weekend’s over,
I’m really sad.
But by Friday night,
When the work’s all done.
We can go out dancin’,
Having lots of fun.

The wife’s still shouting,
Get out of bed.
Move your lazy bones,
You sleepy head,
I’m gonna stay in bed all day,
That’s what I choose.
Don’t ya know now Mumma,
(I’ve) got those Monday morning blues.

INSTRUMENTAL 2 (same as a verse)

CHORUS 3:
Monday morning,
Sure is bad.
The weekend’s over,
I’m really sad.
When the week is finished,
I’m right on song.
We can go out and party,
All night long.

The wife’s now screaming,
You’ll be late for work.
You’ll get the sack,
For being a lazy jerk.
You won’t stay in bed all day,
So Sweetie please don’t cruise.
Get yourself off to work,
And lose those Monday morning blues.
Get yourself off to work,
And lose those Monday morning blues
Get yourself off to work,
And lose those Monday morning blues....oh yeah!
