The weekend is the weekend
|
And it's sunny in the park
|
I'll stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark
|
I've got a lot of homework
|
But homework he can wait
|
I never start my homework till it¨s already too late
|
My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same
|
But it's hard
|
When there's a basketball game in the park
|
It's 1998
|
And everybody's saying:
|
"Harry, you're going to be a lawyer someday・"
|
|
It's Monday bloody Monday
|
And there's two things I forgot
|
I forgot to do my homework
|
And I've only got one sock
|
I'm halfway through a test
|
But I just can't concentrate
|
I'm sitting next to Fontaine
|
I want to ask her on a date
|
I really want to start a conversation
|
But each time she walks past
|
I start choking on my pencil
|
And fall flat on my ass
|
I need to concentrate
|
If I don¨t get this grade
|
Or I might fail to be a lawyer someday
|
|
[PRE-CHORUS]
|
But just right now
|
Can' think of anything better to do
|
Than just sit down at the piano and a write this tune
|
And maybe later
|
Maybe later in the afternoon
|
I'll sit back and relax
|
And think of all the things I'm going to do・
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Someday・
|
I'll buy an old car
|
Someday・
|
I'll get that car to start
|
Someday・
|
I'll learn how to drive too
|
And then Someday・
|
Imagine all the things I could do.
|
|
(That was 1998 now
|
Bring it forward to the present day now
|
Cause some things have changed
|
but some things never change. Check it out!)
|
|
The weekend is the weekend
|
And it's sunny in the park
|
I'll stay here with my beer and fish 'n' chips till it gets dark
|
I just saw Peter Parsons
|
Who used to be in my class
|
I always gave him wedgies cause I thought he worked too hard
|
He said, "Harry, life is great"
|
I feel so happy these days
|
I'm a litigation lawyer
|
So I got it made
|
I'm going out with Fontaine
|
Remember her from tenth grade?
|
I drive a Porsche so I can't complain・
|
|
[PRE-CHORUS]
|
Shit! And look at me can't think of anything better to do
|
That just sit down at the piano and write this tune
|
And maybe later
|
Maybe later in the afternoon
|
I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm going to do・
|
|
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Someday・
|
I'll buy an old car
|
Someday・
|
I'll get that car to start
|
Someday・
|
I'll learn how to drive too
|
And then Someday・
|
Imagine all the things I could do.
|
|
[BRIDGE]
|
|
[PRE-CHORUS]
|
And look at me can't think of anything better to do
|
That just sit down at the piano and write this tune
|
And maybe later
|
Maybe later in the afternoon
|
I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm going to do・
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Someday・
|
I'll buy an old car
|
Someday・
|
I'll get that car to start
|
Someday・
|
I'll learn how to drive too
|
And then Someday・
|
Imagine all the things I could do.
