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 goin' 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, and he's wantin' to lay there And 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, and 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 worth of deals Has got him feelin' new Oh, 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 operas at noon, dancin' 'round with her broom Talkin' to the washin' machine Oh, the girl down the street says, her husband is neat And she 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, and 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 worth of deals Has got him feelin' new But 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 Now, 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 worth of deals Has got him feelin' new Oh, he's kickin' his shoes off, she's puttin' hers on 'Cause she's got the Friday night blues
