Lyrics

[00:08.89] Monday some sort of gentleman
[00:12.24] Came knocking at my door
[00:14.50] To offer me garments and jewels
[00:19.64] He made me dress up like a princess
[00:22.21] Then gave me the bill
[00:24.36] At least I knew what to wear for you
[00:28.32]
[00:28.93] Tuesday went to an old lady
[00:32.53] With half her teeth missing
[00:34.56] Who could see my future quite clear
[00:38.40] She grabbed my hand and opened it
[00:41.93] And placed something in
[00:44.33] "Keep it close 'til it burns" she said
[00:48.10]
[00:49.66] Saturday and Sunday
[00:51.73] I know you'll be in town
[00:54.28] Behind the curtain
[00:56.79] I'm learning my lines
[00:59.11] And I make sure feelings don't show, oh, oh
[01:02.85]
[01:09.41] Wednesday I decided
[01:11.29] I should learn something new
[01:13.79] Like a language or a dance I could boast
[01:18.86] I worked harder and harder as my only goal
[01:23.59] Was to make a better impression on you dear
[01:27.98]
[01:29.14] Thursday by the harbour
[01:31.17] I questioned the sea
[01:33.47] "Will I ever deserve that man?"
[01:38.50] The sky filled with heavy clouds
[01:41.27] As my eyes with tears
[01:43.31] I had to run back home and cry
[01:48.15]
[01:48.94] Saturday and Sunday
[01:50.83] I know you'll be in town
[01:53.38] Behind the curtain
[01:55.79] I'm learning my lines
[01:58.36] And I make sure feelings don't show, oh, oh
[02:01.86]
[02:18.88] Friday I was on my way
[02:20.54] To see a fine friend
[02:22.90] I couldn't care less of my looks
[02:27.66] There was no one I could cross here
[02:30.65] I strolled with no fear
[02:32.83] When I found myself face to face with you
[02:37.10]
[02:38.33] Saturday and Sunday
[02:40.33] I knew you'd be in town
[02:42.78] But it's Friday night
[02:45.37] Oh you took me off my guard
[02:47.52]
[02:48.01] Saturday and Sunday
[02:50.17] My dresses all dropped down
[02:52.76] My palm started burning
[02:54.93] And I spoke a funny tongue
[02:57.22]
[02:58.03] Friday as it started
[02:59.91] The clocks all stopped turning
[03:02.41] Forgot all my skills and my lines
[03:06.05] I had better to learn
[03:11.18] Much better to learn
[03:15.21] Better to learn
[03:19.66]
