Songs where lyrics run through all days of the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ...

What other songs have lyrics that run through all the days of the week? (Please quote the relevant lyrics!) What was the point of reciting all the days?

Flipping through TV channels, I caught Tom Hanks in "You Got Mail" imitating "The Godfather" when Michael Corleone's Italian wife shows off her English: "Monday Tuesday Thursday Wednesday Friday Sunday Saturday".

Then I heard Craig David's "Seven Days", which goes:

I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Point of lyrics: Craig David is an extremely efficient lover.

Last night Mandy Moore appeared on the Late Show with Jay Leno. She was singing her latest, "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week", which goes:

I could break your heart any day of the week.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
Ill make you nervous.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not disturb us.
Sunday rolls around- but thats another story.
It gets a little boring.

Point of lyrics: Mandy Moore holds the power in the relationship ... or maybe not!

 

Bruce Springsteen-Without You

Monday, I go to work
Tuesday, can't find my shirt
Wednesday, I'm feelin' blue
I'm helpless, darlin'
Without you, without you
Without you, without you
Thursdays, everything's fine
Friday, I'm out of my mind
Friday, I'm out of my mind
Saturday, Sunday too
It's hopeless, darlin'
Without you, without you
Without you, without you

Each and every night of the week
I toss and turn in my sleep
Worryin' if you're all right
Wonderin' where you are tonight

 

The Clash "Police on my Back"

I've been runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday..."

Sorta self-explanatory.

 

If you don't have to go thru *all* the days of the week, there's always "Lady Madonna", if the children of those days count. If not, never mind!

(I assume the lyrics are burnt into everyone's memory...)

 

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

 

The Fugs-Nothing
The Scaffold-2 Day's Monday

 

Dave Edmunds/Nick Lowe - Here Comes the Weekend

Monday ain't a fun day
Tuesday's a goof day
Wednesdays are frenzy
Thursday's the worst day
Friday is great
'Cause I can hardly wait until the weekend

I should be clockin' in at eight
But I'm a little late
Can't get my baby 'cause I'm too tired to date
Treat you tender when it's Friday again
Here comes the weekend

Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
My working week's so tough
I think I've had enough until the weekend

I've had an overdose of doctor's notes
But it just don't ease the pain
Goin' on the sick, don't do the trick
Sooner or later I'll be clockin' in again

Working 'round the clock both night and day
Never see enough from a tip or pay
They pay me for the shift like they was scooping a gift
Here come the weekend


From Edmunds 'Get It' album (great album BTW)

 

Shirelles - I Met Him On A Sunday

 

"Seven Nights to Rock":

"Monday- We’re gonna go to school
Tuesday- we’re gonna swim at the pool
Wednesday- Go to the library
Thursday- be with my family
Friday- play in the big sandbox
Saturday and Sunday, everybody rocks!"

Springsteen did it live and changed the lyrics a bunch:

"Monday, at sister Suzy's ball
Tuesday, at the old dance hall
Wednesday, at the road house inn
Thursday, at the lion's den
Friday, at the chatter box
Saturday and Sunday, everybody rocks"

And also:

"Monday, I'm gonna rock with Jane
Tuesday, it's gonna be Lorraine
Wednesday, I'm taking Nancy Lee
Thursday, it's Betty Lou and me
Friday, I'm gonna jive with Sue
Saturday and Sunday, any chick will do"

 

"Lady Madonna" mentions every day of the week except Saturday.

"Never on Sunday" mentions them all.

With my typing skills it takes too long to type all the lyrics.

P.S. Oops,. sallymae beat me to the punch with Lady Madonna.

 

Close but not quite:

Johnny Cash, "I Got Stripes" (Monday through Thursday)
The Easybeats, "Friday on My Mind" (Monday through Friday)

 

Simon & Garfunkel - "Why Don't You Write Me"

Only covers Monday thru Friday. Probably no mail delivery on Saturday back then.

 

"Saturday Love" - Cherrelle & Alexander O'Neal

 

U2 - Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

 

Fats Domino - Blue Monday

 

Lucy Mae Blues--Frankie Lee Sims
My Monday Woman Blues -- Jim Johnson

 

From Wikipedia....

"The Diary of Horace Wimp" is the title of track four on the Electric Light Orchestra album Discovery, written by Jeff Lynne.

Released in 1979 as a single, the song is Beatlesque in nature and became a Top Ten hit in the UK and Ireland. The lyrics take us through a week in the life of an oppressed man who nevertheless overcomes his shy nature with the help of "a voice from above".
The day Saturday is omitted – this is because, as explained by Jeff Lynne: "'The football match is played on a Saturday"."

 

Sting / "Seven Days"

(from Ten Summoner's Tales)

Those are the one's that came to mind. Great rock 'n' roll.

Queen - In Only Seven Days

Monday the start of my holiday
Freedom for just one week
Feels good to get away ooh

Tuesday saw her down on the beach
I stood and watched a while
And she looked and smiled at me

Wednesday I didn't see her
I hoped that she'd be back tomorrow
And then on Thursday
My luck had changed
She stood there all alone
I went and asked her name
I never thought that this could happen to me
In only seven days
It would take a hundred or more
For memories to fade

I wish Friday could last forever
I held her close to me
I couldn't bear to leave her there

Saturday just twenty four hours
Oh no I'm goin' back home on Sunday

I'm so sad alone

 

Stormy Monday.
