Lyrics

Time to get up, but I want to stay in bed.

Guess I’ve got the Mon day morn in’ blues.

So much to do, I just can’t get a head.

Guess I’ve got the Mon day morn in’ blues.

The week end was a blast,

too bad it could n’t last.

Mon day came too soon.

I’ll pull my self to geth er and try to wear a smile, e ven tho’ I’ve got the Mon day morn in’ blues.
