Текст песни The Bangles - Manic Monday

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissing Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
 
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
 
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
 
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
 
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
 
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
 
All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
 
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun
 
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
 
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
It's just another manic Monday
