Huh Uh huh, it's Friday Aw, aw, aw, thank God it's Friday and I just got paid Goin' 'cross town Gonna pick up my lady Have a little bit of fun Just ain't no tellin' where I might end up You might see me on the East Side, ha, the West Side I'm even goin' across the bridge over 'Cause I, 'cause I, 'cause I hear they can get down over there (Well, well, ah.) Owe it to myself (Well, well, ah.) doin' (Well, well, ah.) Gonna party (Well, well, ah.) I'm gonna party (Well, well, ah.)

Gonna party, party, party, party Come on, y'all, let's go downtown Come on, y'all, let's groove Hey, hey, hey From Monday to Thursday, I'm dead on my feet Most of the time, too tired to eat When I try to read the paper, I fall fast asleep As soon as Friday rolls around I lay all the weekly burdens down I put on my glad rags and paint the town I'm livin' for the weekend Right now I'm livin' for the weekend Said I'm livin' for the weekend 'Cause that's when I party down (Ah, ah.) Party hardy. (Ah, ah.) Party down (Ah, ah.) Party hardy. (Ah, ah.) Party down. (Alright.) Soon as Monday rolls around again I got to put all that partyin' to an end Got to swap that same old grind With those 5-a-day weekends Sometimes I get frustrated through the day I take off early and I just get paid At that time, I don't really care Because I done took all that I can bear I'm livin' for the weekend. (Just, just about.) Oh, oh, right now, livin' for the weekend. (Just about now.) Heh, right now, I'm livin' for the weekend Heh, 'cause that's when I party down. (Ay, ay.) (Ah, ah.) Party hardy. (Ah, ah.) Party down (Ah, ah.) Party hardy. (Ah, ah.) Party down (Ah, ah.) Party hardy. (Night. Ah, ah, ah.) Party down (Ah, ah.) Party hardy. (Ah, ah.) Party on down (Ah, ah.) Monday, dead in my socks (Ah, ah.) Tuesday, too tired to rock (Ah, ah.) Wednesday, tired, wanna sleep (Ah, ah.) Thursday, oh so weak (Ah, ah.) Friday, (Ah, ah.) party down (Ah, ah.)
