Friday morning and all my work is done, I've packed my bags, I'm on the run

I got a feeling that I'm gonna have some Fun in the sun with my friends

And he's got me going

Whoops now, sorry I can't go, Whoops now, sorry I can't go, Whoops now, sorry I can't go

Sorry I can't, Sorry I can't go now

Friday noon and my boss is on the phone, He's telling me that I can't leave home

An extra hand at work is what he Called for, he said, "We need you here"

Tell my friends I'm going

Whoops now, sorry I can't go, Whoops now, sorry I can't go

Whoops now, sorry I can't go, I don't know why my job has called me in

Whoops now, sorry I can't go, Whoops now, sorry I can't go

Whoops now, sorry I can't go, I don't know why my job has called me

It makes no difference if you love work or not

If you dream your weekend, hand on the doorknob

Out with your friends and fun in the sun now, That's when the phone rings

Friday evening and I'm all alone at home, I bet my friends are having fun

I'll plan my weekend, dammit, leave the machine on, Next time he calls he'll hear my voice saying loud and clear,
