If we tell you that you've got two days to live

Then don't complain, 'cos that's one more than you'd get in Zaire -

So don't hang around and be foolish

Do something constructive with your weekend -

From Monday morning I work for Friday nights

Collect my wages, then try to paint on the smell of soap -

'Cause tonight I get ready early

Score what I need and go pick a girl up

It seems like ages since we had some fun -

Here comes the weekend - I get to see the girls

Long live the weekend, the weekend is here

(the weekend starts here)

Everything feels right now

I know why I'm alive now

Everything else is a lie now

Now I know why I'm here

Here comes the weekend - I'm gonna do my head

Long live the weekend, the weekend is dead
