He's been working all week
He's got mental fatigue
And that old couch sure looks fine
All week he's been gone
She's been sitting alone
Slowly going out of her mind
As he kicks off his shoes for the six o'clock news
She's getting all prettied up
Ah, she's wanting to boogie
He wants to lay there
She's got the Friday night blues
Oh, those Friday night blues
They get in your shoes
And they work to get you down
Ah, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew
Who didn't need her a night on the town
But the hills and the bills
And a week full of deals
Has got him feeling used
While he's kicking his shoes off
She's putting hers on
'Cause she's got the Friday night blues
Oh, there once was a time she was top of the line
Her nights like teenage dreams
Now it's operas at noon
Dancing 'round with her broom
Talking to the washing machine
Oh, the girl down the street
Says her husband is neat
And makes it sound so true
Now she's feeling lonely
Thinks she's the only one with the Friday night blues
Oh, those Friday night blues
They get in your shoes
And they work to get you down
Ah, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew
Who didn't need her a night on the town
But the hills and the bills
And a week full of deals
Has got him feeling used
While he's kicking his shoes off
She's putting hers on
'Cause she's got the Friday night blues
Oh, those Friday night blues
They get in your shoes
And they work to get you down
Oh, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew
Who didn't need her a night on the town
