Lyrics

Monday had a sad child

Always feeling low down

Tuesday had a dream child

She's always on the go, so I'm in love with

(Saturday's child)

Every time you take a ride at night

(She's driving me wild)

You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight

(Gonna spend my time)

You can tell the future's lookin' bright

(Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)

If you love a Wednesday

You'll live your life apart now

And if you love a Thursday

She's gonna break your heart, so I'm in love with

(Saturday's child)

Every time you hold her close, you'll see

(She's driving me wild)

You can feel the thrill that's gonna be

(Gonna spend my time)

Now the future has a guarantee

(Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)

Seven days of the week made to choose from

But only one is right for me

I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe

I can tell by the way she looks at me

Friday likes the good life

She'll take you for a ride now

And Sunday makes a good wife

She wants to be your bride, so I'm in love with

(Saturday's child)

Every time you take a ride at night

(She's driving me wild)

You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight

(Gonna spend my time)

You can tell the future's lookin' bright

(Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine, Saturday's child)

Every time you take a ride at night

(She's driving me wild)

You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight

(Gonna spend my time)

You can tell the future's lookin' bright

(Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine, Saturday's child)
