Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Monday, (Monday) Late again today
He'll be in trouble, though he'd say he was sorry
He'd have to hurry out to the bus
[Verse 2]
Tuesday, (Tuesday) Horace was so sad
He'd never had a girl that he could care for
And if he was late once more, he'd be out, uh-oh
[Verse 3]
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
Well, he just stood there, mumblin' and fumblin'
Then a voice from above said
[Verse 4]
"Horace Wimp, this is your life, go out and find yourself a wife
(Come on, Horace) Make a stand and be a man
And you will have a great life planned" (You can do it)
(Come on, Horace)
[Verse 5]
Wednesday, (Wednesday) Horace met the girl
She was small, and she was very pretty
He thought he was in love, he was afraid, uh oh
[Verse 6]
Thursday (Thursday) Asked her for a date
The cafe down the street, tomorrow evening
His head was reeling when she said, "Yes, okay"
[Verse 7]
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
Well, he just stood there, mumblin' and fumblin'
Then a voice from above said
[Verse 8]
"Horace Wimp, this is your life, go out and find yourself a wife
(Come on, Horace) Make a stand and be a man
And you will have a great life planned (You can do it)
(Come on, Horace)
[Verse 9]
Friday (Friday) Horace, this is it
He asks the girl if maybe they could marry
When she says, "Gladly," Horace cries, boo-hoo
[Verse 10]
Sunday (Sunday) Everybody's at the church
When Horace rushes in and says, "Now here comes my wife
For the rest of my life," and she did
[Verse 11]
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
Well, he just stood there, mumblin' and fumblin'
Then a voice from above said
[Verse 12]
"Horace Wimp, this is your wife, go out and find yourself a life
(You can do it) Make a stand, and be a man
And you will have a great life planned (Horace Wimp)
[Verse 13]
(Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace)
(Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...
