We've been working real hard and the bills are
caught up

For three weeks at church we've been sitting up
front

Even had your Mamma over for lunch

We've been good little angles but enough's enough

It's early to bed and early to rise

Crossing out T's and dotting out I's

We've paid out dues and we've paid our tithes

But for goodness sake it's Friday night

Chorus:

We need time off from good behavior

Spend a li'l too much stay up a lot later

Get a little naughty, do ourselves a favor

Take a little time off from good behavior

We've been all wrapped up in our daily grind

We'll come unwound if we don't unwind

We'll mind our P's and Q's some other time

I think a little R & R's in line

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
