The weekend is the weekend
And itâs sunny in the park
Iâll stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark
Iâve got a lot of homework
But homework he can wait
I never start my homework till its already too late
My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same
But itâs hard
When thereâs a basketball game in the park
Itâs 1998
And everybodyâs saying:
âHarry, youâre going to be a lawyer some dayâŚâ
Itâs Monday bloody Monday
And thereâs two things I forgot
I forgot to do my homework
And Iâve only got one sock
Iâm halfway through a test
But I just canât concentrate
Iâm sitting next to Fontaine
I want to ask her on a date
I really want to start a conversation
But each time she walks past
I start choking on my pencil
And fall flat on my ass
I need to concentrate
I have to get this grade
Or I might fail to be a lawyer someday
BRIDGE
But just right now
Canâ think of anything better to do
Than just sit down at the piano and a write this tune
And maybe later
Maybe later in the afternoon
Iâll sit back and relax
And think of all the things Iâm going to doâŚ
CHORUS
SomedayâŚ
Iâll buy an old car
SomedayâŚ
Iâll get that car to start
SomedayâŚ
Iâll learn how to drive too
And then SomedayâŚ
Imagine all the things I could do.
(That was 1998 now
Bring it forward to the present day now
Cause some things have changed
but some things never change)
The weekend is the weekend
And itâs sunny in the park
Iâll stay here with my beer and fish ânâ chips till it gets dark
I just saw Peter Parsons
Who used to be in my class
I always gave him wedgies cause I thought he worked too hard
He said, âHarry, life is great â
I feel so happy these days â
Iâm a litigation lawyer â
So I got it made
Iâm going out with Fontaine
Rememer her from tenth grade?
I drive a Porsche so I canât complainâŚâ
BRIDGE
Shit! And look at me canât think of anything better to do
That just sit down at the piano and write this tune
And maybe later
Maybe later in the afternoon
Iâll sit back and relax and think of all the things Iâm going to doâŚ
CHORUS
