A 
Monday my day of rest 
C#m 
Tuesday I do my best 
D                            E 
Wednesday I wander round the town 
A 
Thursday I get depressed 
C#m 
Friday my hair's a mess 
D                          E 
But then the weekend comes around 
 
     A                          C#m 
I'll borrow ten bucks and we'll go out drinkin' 
          A                  C#m 
There's a party goin' on and I've been thinkin' 
          A                      C#m 
We should get a case of beer and go down there 
    D                 E 
And see what it's all about 
D           E          A 
Gotta get myself wiped out 
 
(Then Julie phoned and this is what she said, she said) 
'Aint had a holiday 
In the past five years 
Working my fingers to the bone 
Forget that grease and grime 
For now it's party time 
Come out and leave that nine to five alone 
 
Well we'll borrow a car and going out speeding 
There's a party going on and I've been needing 
To have a drink and a talk to you 
And see what you're all about 
Yeah come and get yourself wiped out 
 
C#m                     A 
Five days a week in the work force 
   D                           E 
Is just enough to drive anyone mad 
C#m                     A 
So stick with me Julie baby 
     D                        E 
It's more fun being poor than sad 
Gotta get in! Gotta get out and lose some skin! 
 
A C#m D E x2 
 
A                     C#m 
I'll borrow ten bucks 
There's a party going on 
We'll drink some beer 
    D                   E 
And see what you're all about 
D           E     D           E 
Gotta get myself, gotta get myself 
D           E                A 
Gotta get myself wiped out
