Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's been workin' all week, he's got mental fatigue
And that old couch sure looks fine
All week he's been gone she's been sittin' alone
Slowly going out of her mind
[Verse 2]
As he kicks off his shoes for the six o'clock news
She's gettin' all prettied up
Oh, she's wantin' to boogie, he wants to lay there
She's got the Friday night blues
[Chorus]
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
But the hills and the bills and a week full of deals
Has got him feelin' used
While he's kickin' his shoes off she's puttin' hers on
'Cause she's got the Friday night blues
[Verse 3]
Oh, there once was a time
She was top of the line
Her nights like teenage dreams
Now it's opera's at noon, dancin' round with her broom
Talkin' to the washin' machine
[Verse 4]
Oh, the girl down the street says her husband is neat
And makes it sound so true
Now she's feelin' lonely, thinks she's the only
One with the Friday night blues
[Chorus]
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
But the hills and the bills and a week full of deals
Has got him feelin' used
While he's kickin' his shoes off, she's puttin' hers on
'Cause she's got the Friday night blues
[Outro]
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
