8 Day Week

Siusan O’Rourke

10-24-07

6am and the bell goes off

I hit the ground a runnin

Doesn’t matter what the weathers like

I got no time for sunnin

Theres always too damn much to do

I work all day but never get thru

All I really want is to stay at home

And cuddle up to you

So throw another log upon the fire

So it will keep on Burnin

Let me gaze into your big brown eyes

So I can keep on yearnin

Gonna write to my congressman

pull some strings and do all he can

To get an 8 day week

and spend it loving you

Day and night seem to roll in one

I get no time for dreamin

Tween the job and the house and kids

I barely sit for eatin

One short day feels like a year

When I cant sit and hold you near

All I really want is to come on home

And whisper in your ear

So Play another of your sweet love songs

So I can keep on Swoonin

Pull the covers up over our heads

So we can keep on Spoonin

Gonna Write to my Congressman

pull some strings and do all he can

to get an 8 day week

and spend it Loving You

I think Im gonna call your Boss at Work

And tell em Im your Mother

We can quit our Jobs and stay at Home

And live on Peanutbutter

Break out our Old 45s

Shake a leg and all the Jive

Makes me glad to be Alive

And living Life with You

In the Morning when the Birdies sing

You know we’ll keep on Snuglin

Cause we’ll have to get lots of Rest

So we can keep on Loving

Gonna Write my Congressman

To pull some strings and do all he can

To get an 8 Day week

And spend it loving you
