Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, and
[Verse 1]
"Seven days", is all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me, she gave to me
When I thought the field had cleared
It seems another suit appeared
To challenge me, woe is me
[Verse 2]
Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Well, we'll see
I don't think she'd bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It's plain to see, it's him or me
[Chorus]
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
[Verse 3]
The fact he's over six feet ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me, the mighty flea
Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He'll murder me, in time for his tea
[Verse 4]
Does it bother me at all
My rival is Neanderthal
It makes me think, "Perhaps I need a drink"
IQ's no an issue here
We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand, I fear
I need that beer
Hey!
[Chorus]
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
Are you counting?
I hope so
[Bridge]
Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so
Seven days, so many ways
I can't run
I can't run away
I can't run away
[Chorus]
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Oh, Sunday
Sunday'd be too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Okay
We're clapping in 5/4 time
I like that
Yeah
That's good
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Very good, clapping in five, that's not easy
