Lyrics
Well I go to school from nine to three
Every change I get
They try to teach me the golden rule
But I ain't learned nothing yet
CHORUS:
Thank God it's Friday, I mean to say
Thank God it's Friday, Lord, it's been a long, long day
I worked all week from nine to five
Man, it broke me to tears
I sat around reading paperback books
And I ate my lunch at Sears
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I mean to tell you this work is tough
I'm gonna leave some day
I don't have to take this stuff
They can't make me stay
Now I work all week in a factory
I run a jack hammer , semi-press
The work ain't hard, the money ain't bad
But it sure ain't happiness
CHORUS
I hop, hop, hop like a three legged dog
Tryin' to win a greyhound race
I don't want to sit around like no bump on a log
But I just can't take this pace
CHORUS
