Friday Night Blues

He's been workin' all week, he's got mental fatigue

And that old couch sure looks fine

All week he's been gone she's been sittin' alone

Slowly going out of her mind

As he kicks off his shoes for the six o'clock news

She's gettin' all prettied up

Oh, she's wantin' to boogie, he wants to lay there

She's got the Friday night blues

Oh, those Friday night blues

They get in your shoes and they work to get you down

Oh, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew

Who didn't need her a night on the town

But the hills and the bills and a week full of deals

Has got him feelin' used

While he's kickin' his shoes off she's puttin' hers on

'Cause she's got the Friday night blues

Oh, there once was a time

She was top of the line

Her nights like teenage dreams

Now it's opera's at noon, dancin' round with her broom

Talkin' to the washin' machine

Oh, the girl down the street says her husband is neat

And makes it sound so true

Now she's feelin' lonely, thinks she's the only

One with the Friday night blues

Oh, those Friday night blues

They get in your shoes and they work to get you down

Oh, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew

Who didn't need her a night on the town

But the hills and the bills and a week full of deals

Has got him feelin' used

While he's kickin' his shoes off, she's puttin' hers on

'Cause she's got the Friday night blues

Oh, those Friday night blues

They get in your shoes and they work to get you down

Oh, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew

Who didn't need her a night on the town
