Lyrics

Weekend Warrior, boy he likes to play
Down in Miami, South F. L. A.
Works all week from nine to five
Come Friday night he really comes alive
And, his candle at both ends does burn.
Yes, his candle at both ends does burn.

Inside four walls he wears a coat and tie
Pushing papers from Mon through Fri
Sings with a rock band on Saturday night
Lives two lives, man, and does it right.
And, his candle at both ends does burn.
Yes, his candle at both ends does burn.

[solos]

In the office he is quite a square
Gets ?round on weekends, let?s down his hair
One day he?s selling insurance for your house and cars
Next day he?ll be swinging through all the bars
And, his candle at both ends does burn.
Yes, his candle at both ends does burn.

I don?t think he eats, ain?t got time to sleep.
Weekend Warrior?s got a busy schedule to keep.
A brown paper bag with a sixteen-ounce can
That?s what makes him like Superman.
And, his candle at both ends does burn.
Yes, his candle at both ends does burn.

Weekend Warrior revs up Friday night.
Goes straight through to Sunday?s light.
Then ?Sunday is Saturday? he says with a grin.
Makes it to work Monday, on time again.
And, his candle at both ends does burn.
Yes, his candle at both ends does burn.

Yes, his candle at both ends does burn.
