Lyrics
WEEKEND SATISFACTION
Writers: Robert Wesley Grubbs & Ronald Gordon Patrick
Verse 1:
All week long I felt so beat
I was working hard on my feet
The boss got mad when I came in late
But it's hard to be at work by eight
Now that it's Friday I'll have some fun
Find me a date the weekend's begun
I'm getting ready without delay
I'm so glad it's the end of my day.
Chorus:
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Weekend Satisfaction.
Verse 2:
Nothing's going to slow me down
When I'm stepping out on the town
Soon as I put on the clothes I wear
Heads will start turning everywhere
I'll have dinner by candlelight
Go walk in the park it's a moonlit night
I'll dance into the morning sun
And have a good time now that my day is done.
Chorus:
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Weekend Satisfaction.
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Weekend Satisfaction.
Bridge:
If I was the president of a big of a big corporation
With deadlines always on my mind
I'd find a way to ease the tension
And leave the working world behind.
Chorus:
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Weekend Satisfaction.
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Makes me want to sing
Makes me want to swing
Weekend Satisfaction
Weekend Satisfaction.
