We do it nine to five
Put petrol in the car
It's a 45 minute drive
And it's a bit too long
And much too far
6.30 rise and shine
With the traffic weaving into town
The clock that rules my life
It picks me up and puts me down
But something I remember
I remember
To forget about the working week
Forget about it
Forget about the working week
Got my work clothes under iron
It makes me feel like such a bag
Appearances are fine
But underneath I feel a dag
But something I remember
Yeah, I remember
To forget about the working week
Forget about it
Forget about the working week
The afternoon drags on
Sometimes it goes so fast
I'm just dreaming time away
As I watch the minutes ticking past
To forget about the working week
Forget about it
To forget about the working week
Forget about it
