Oh, few things work out like you want 'em toBut just do your best; it's the best you can doThe sailboats are gliding to shore with the windGo out and stroll about and find a friendYeah, the long week is gone, now the weekend's begunGo down and check the tavern; you might find some funThe girls from the high ridge are singing tonightHang out and drink some wine and feel all rightDoes your heart tell the truth when you're lying?Number oneDoes your blues get you high when you're crying?Oh, oh, nowYeah, the telephone's ringing, but nobody's homeShe's out for the evening, but she's not out aloneOf course you could find her, but what'd be the use?Hang out and drink some wine and just get juicedDoes your mind hit the groove when you're gleaming?Number twoDoes your life start to live while you're dreaming?Oh, oh, nowThe slow week is gone, now the weekend will runRelax on a Sunday and soak up some sunThere ain't much of nothin' that's free anymoreBut the sunshine's real fine and don't keep scoreDo you think you could love one and only?Number threeDoes your blues get you off when you're lonely?Oh, oh, now
