FRIDAY AFTERNOON
WELL I WAS CRUISING RIGHT ALONG ON INTERSTATE I-91
AND THE RADIO KEPT CRANKIN OUT THE TUNES
SLIPPED OUT A LITTLE EARLY FROM A THREE FOOT CUBICLE
ON A MID AUGUST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
BUT THOSE MONDAY MORNINGS ROLL AROUND A BIT TOO FAST
TUESDAYS NEVER SEEM LIKE ANY FUN
WEDNESDAY STILL THAT MIDDLE CHILD IT ALWAYS IS
AND THURSDAY CANNOT EVER BE OUTRUN
ALL MY DAYS HAVE GOT A WAY OF BLOWING RIGHT ON BY
SLOW ‘EM DOWN, THEY’RE GONNA END TOO SOON
GOING FOR THE GOOD TIME WHILE THE GOINGS PRETTY GOOD
AND I DID ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THAT WEDNESDAY SORTA ACTED LIKE THE HUMP IT WAS
BY THURSDAY WE’RE A BAND ON THE RUN
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS AROUND THIS WORLD
NOT A SOUL CAN MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
I DON’T CARE ABOUT REGRETS, OR EVEN LOSING BETS
DON’T WANNA CHECK OUT, WHEN I JUST ARRIVED
YOU KNOW THAT WEDNESDAY STILL THAT MIDDLE CHILD IT ALWAYS IS
BY THURSDAY WE’RE A BAND ON THE RUN
AND SO I LEFT A LITTLE EARLY FROM A THREE FOOT CUBICLE
ON A MID AUGUST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
IT’S A MIDDLE AUGUST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
LOVE this! It’s a toe-tapping, sing-along and get up and dance kind of tune. And it kind of reminds me of how I feel when I hear “Feelin’ Groovy.” And now I want to leave work early tomorrow!
Mr. Tom, mr. Tom just love it so happy little toe tapper
Mr. Joe
Hey Mary Ann,
Pada-pada-pada… “Feeling Friday”, even if it’s Wednesday night. Thanks kindly, really looking forward to seeing you and Rog in AZ Land.
Tom
Hey Joe,
Glad you’re a tappin’, and a lubbin’ it. Thanks, as always.
Tom
This I can use for class. Just plug into my system. Great tap dance tune! Can’t believe they just keep coming through. Another perfect mix! Bravo!
Hey Carole,
Tap? really.
Thanks for the listen and comment.
Tom
hey now
ican’t get in
YEs I needed up beat today. I also heard a touch of Mike Nesmith and ELO Mr Blue Skies….
EVERYONE TAP YOU TOES. More up temp songs if you please HSW
It’s got that groovy feel like NRBQ and a little ELO too. Hmm, I can play this. Hey Now!
Hey Helen Smellin,
Upbeat? I guess it is.
Thanks for the listen, and comment.
Tom
Hey Stan,
One of Wes’ mixes and masters for this tune (not the one posted), was very, very NRBQ ish. But we went with this one, and for you it’s still NRBQ. So, that’s pretty cool.
Thanks, Stan,
Tom
Yes, your happy happy tune reminded me of the songs I’d hear when I watched Hullabaloo!
Hey Mary,
Wow. Our first Hullabaloo sighting! I think the lyrics are a little less happy than the music…the view of the protagonist is that the time is not his/her own.
But happy it is.
Thanks,
Tom
