Twenty five years I've been on this earth Not forgetting those months before my birth Months during which if my mother had said I don't want this baby Then I'd be dead Job I'm in is a steady one I deliver up parcels weighing a ton I could do better but I know I won't Still with money in the bank and a car Of my own I'm off on the weekend Looking for a new friend Out to make love Heavens above oh lord Don't bother me if the sun don't shine It's urine falling remember not mine Girlfriend's ran off with another guy It could have been worse well it could have Been a lie I don't like anything td do with drugs Sure they give you a kick but then so do thugs I work as hard as I can each day But when friday arrives and I get my pay I'm off on the weekend looking for a new friend Out to make love Heavens above oh lord I'm off on the weekend looking for a new friend Dying to make love Heavens above oh lord Sometimes of an evening instead of sleeping Sometimes of an evening entirely in keeping I'll watch the paint dry all over Sharon Stone Now monday mornings the only time in The week when I wish that I could lie-in Then comes Thursday and what do you know Only one more day and away I'll go I'm off on the weekend looking for a new friend Out to make love Heavens above oh lord I'm off on the weekend looking for a new friend Dying to make love Heavens above oh lord Keep on working that mojo Drink your whisky a go go I should say that It's coco But It hasn't the bite Tell your papa I don't care Nothing wrong with your red hair If he thinks that it's unfair Then of Course He'd be right He'd be right
