Forty hours a week, just to pay off the debts
Whilst the boss gets filthy rich from your daily sweat
You know it's modern slavery, but, you'll survive
You have the consolation of your life outside
When it's time, you stick your finger up, and head for home
For the weekend

The fun's about to start, now the week's at an end
Make sure you've got some euro's and your plastic friend
It's time to seek some action, time to rave and chant
The night time is the right time, and the city's Rotterdam
Remember, don't do anything that I wouldn't do
In the weekend

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.....
When the work's been done
It's time to have some fun
At the weekend

The soothing satisfaction of a long cool drink
The karaoke beckons, Buddy, Bowie, or Sting ?
Dutch courage lends a helping hand, you're ready to go
Don't wait to get a call-up from the Sound-mix Show
You've lost your credibility, but, what the heck!
It's the weekend

It's time to hit the dance floor, make way for the star
Your pride gets hurt, and backside too, so back to the bar
The ship is in the harbour, but your brain's all at sea
You think you're something special, but it's all fantasy
Another night to remember, but never again
'Til next weekend

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.....
When the work's been done
It's time to have some fun
At the weekend

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.....
When the work's been done
It's time to have some fun
At the weekend
When the work's been done
It's time to have some fun
At the weekend
