Friday On My Mind

"Friday on My Mind" is a 1966 song by Australian classic rock group The Easybeats. Written by band members George Young and Harry Vanda, the British Invasion-style number became a worldwide hit, making #1 in Australia, #6 in the UK, #16 in the USA and charting in several other countries. In 2001, it was voted "Best Australian Song" of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as determined by a panel of 100 music industry personalities. According to the Friday On My Mind Songfacts, guitarist Harry Vanda describes the song as reminiscent of the days where the band members lived in hostels in Sydney as "New Australians", where they hung out for the end of the week because of the fun it brought.

{Intro} Monday mornin' feels so bad Ev'rybody seems to nag me Comin' Tuesday I feel better Even my old man looks good Wed'sday just don't go Thursday goes too slow I've got Friday on my mind Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she's so pretty She looks fine tonight She is out of sight to me Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight I'll lose my head, tonight I've got to get to night Monday I'll have Friday on my mind Do the five day grind once more I know of nothin' else that bugs me More than workin' for the rich man Hey! I'll change that scene one day Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad Cause I'll have Friday on my mind Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she's so pretty She looks fine tonight She is out of sight to me Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight I'll lose my head, tonight I've got to get to night Monday I'll have Friday on my mind Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she's so pretty I'm gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she's so pretty
