EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
(T. Beechey)
All during the week was school and chores
No fishin' in the creek,no going outdoors
Till the work was done and the books were closed
No time for fun till the weekend shows
Every Friday night,all my buddies and me
Beneath the streetlight aingin' endlessly
Tune after tune --- man,it was cool!
Underneath the moon which was always full
Monday through Thursday we stayed inside
No time for horseplay (But sometimes we tried)
Between housework and homework,there just wasn't time
But I'll tell you,our ears perked at that Friday night chime!
Every Friday night,all my buddies and me
Beneath the streetlight singing endlessly
Song after song --- boy,it was fun!
All night long till the risin' sun
Danny got married,Steve went to war
Paul,he's been buried for a year or more
Both Jerry and Pete lost their souls for a gem
I think I'll go up the street and sing one for them
Every Friday night,all my buddies and me
Beneath the streetlight singin' endlessly
Always a capella and in harmony
Till next morning's yellow came over the tree
