Harry Nilsson - Here's Why I Did Not Go to Work Today

Here's why I did not go to work today
Thursday's such a crazy, lazy day
Thursday has its own peculiar way
Of saying "hey"

Sometimes thursday almost
Makes you want to run away
Thursday's such a crazy, lazy day

Yeah, thursday's such a crazy, lazy day
Let's go have a picnic
Thursday's such a crazy, lazy day
Hope it doesn't rain

When I'm feeling thursday
I go and have a drink
If thursday was a boat I bet it'd sink

I did on monday
I tried on tuesday
Wednesday's simply not my cup of tea
Thank heaven it's friday
Thank the lord for the weekend
Thursday now, that's such a crazy, lazy day

They say monday's child is full of grace
Tuesday's child is fair of face
Thursday's child has far to go
And it's no wonder
When the week becomes a rat race
You can bet, win, show or place
But never bet on thursday
'Cause god's not on its case

Thursday's such a crazy, lazy day
Don't get me wrong
It's just that thursday's twice as long as it should be
It's twice as long

Mondays, tuesdays, weekends, fridays
Don't get in my way
But thursday's just a crazy, lazy day

Monday is a blues day
That goes for tuesday
Wednesday's just the middle of the week, yeah mm
Friday is just another payday
The weekend's just another heyday
But thursday's surreptitiously unique

That's why I didn't go to work today

Thursday's got its own peculiar way
Of saying "hey"
Sometimes thursday makes you want to run away

Thursday's such a crazy, lazy day
Thursday's such a crazy, lazy day
