[Verse 1] Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired And you can have anyone that you have ever desired All you got to tell me now is why, why, why, why? [Chorus] Welcome to the working week Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't k** you Welcome to the working week You got to do it till you're through, so you better get to it [Verse 2] All of your family had to k** to survive And they're still waiting for their big day to arrive
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive [Chorus] [Bridge] I hear you saying, "Hey, the city's alright" When you only read about it in books Spend all your money getting so convinced That you never even bother to look [Verse 3] Sometimes I wonder if we're living in the same land Why d'you want to be my friend When I feel like a juggler running out of hands? [Outro] Welcome to the working week Oh, welcome to the working week
