Early Monday morning the alarm goes off
Drag myself out of the bed
Fumble through my closet for an unwrinkled shirt
Round up the kids all hidin’ in the shed
I’m red in the face, I’m red in the eyes
Everything tells me it’s the day I despise
Monday, another Monday
Comes too fast, it’s always that way
If anything can happen it’ll happen today
Monday, I hate Monday
Late again for work and the car won’t start
Dog made a mess on the floor
If my lady tells me that she’s pregnant again
I’m walkin’ right out of the door
She tells me, “Lindsey needs this and Casey needs that”
Rollin’ down the driveway I run over the cat
Monday, another Monday
Comes too fast, it’s always that way
If anything can happen it’ll happen today
Monday, I hate Monday
Now Tuesday’s just great and Wednesday’s just fine
Thursday, Friday I don’t mind
Saturday comes uncork a bottle of wine
But Sunday slips on by me and I’m all outta time
Now some guy name of Murphy he made up a law
I dare somebody prove to me where Murphy was flawed
When he said that anything will go wrong that can
Just look at me I’m drownin’ and I’m standin’ on land
Monday, another Monday
Comes too fast, it’s always that way
If anything can happen it’ll happen today
Monday, I hate Monday
