He's been working all week,

he's got mental fatigue,

and that old couch sure looks fine,

All week he's been gone,

she's been sittin’ alone,

slowly going out of her mind,

As he kicks off his shoes,

for the six o'clock news,

she's getting’ all prettied up,

Ah she's wantin’ to boogie,

he wants to lay there,

she's got the Friday night blues,

Oh those Friday night blues,

they get in your shoes and they work to get you down,

Ah but there ain't a lady that I ever knew,

who didn't need her a night on the town,

But the hills a nd the bills and a week full of deeds, has got him feeling used,

While he's kicking his shoes off,

she's putting hers on,

cause she's got the Friday night blues,

Oh there once was a time,

she was top of the line

her nights like teenage dreams

Now it's operas at noon,

dancing round with her broom,

talking to the washing machine,

Oh, the girl down the street,

says her husband is neat,

and she makes it sound so true,

Now she's feeling lonely thinks she's the only one with the Friday night blues

Oh those Friday night blues,

they get in your shoes and they work to get you down,

Ah but there ain't a lady that I ever knew, who didn't need her a night on the town,

But the hills and the bills and a week full of deeds,

has got him feeling used,

while he's kicking his shoes off,

she's putting hers on,

cause she's got the Friday night blues,

Fade Oh those Friday night blues they get in your shoes and they work to get you down
