[Intro]
Hey!
(Hey!)
Hey!
(Hey!)
Are you ready?
(Hold steady)
Let’s play!
(All day)
[Verse 1]
Monday morning rolls around
(Rolls around)
Everybody’s looking down
(Looking down)
Watching clocks and counting days
(Counting days)
Dreaming of a better way
(A better way)
Some are chasing dollar signs
(Dollar signs)
Some are chasing peace of mind
(Peace of mind)
Maybe both are worth the chase
(Worth the chase)
Depends upon the time and place
(Time and place)
[Refrain]
Hey!
(Did you say playday)
Say,
(Or was it payday)
… I suppose either way
(Is A-OK)
Hey!
(Did you say playday)
Say,
(Or was it payday)
… I suppose either way
(Is A-OK)
[Verse 2]
Work can build and work can mend
(Work can mend)
Work can help a dream begin
(Dream begin)
But the road can lose its spark
(Lose its spark)
If all you do is push the cart
(Push the cart)
You gotta laugh and sing along
(Sing along)
Dance a little while you’re strong
(While you’re strong)
Life is more than keeping score
(Keeping score)
That’s what weekends were invented for
(Invented for)
[Chorus]
It’s a payday
(Playday!)
A playday
(Payday!)
Either way we’re feeling fine
(Feeling fine)
It’s a payday
(Playday!)
A playday
(Payday!)
Maybe both at the same time
(The same time)
[Bridge]
Play the game
(Play the game)
Earn your keep
(Earn your keep)
Plant the seeds
(Plant the seeds)
Harvest what you need
(What you need)
Count your blessings
(Not just cash)
Good things never last
(Unless they’re shared)
[Instrumental]
[Organ solo]
(Hey!)
[Piano solo]
(Hey!)
Everybody now!
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Final Chorus]
It’s a payday
(Playday!)
A playday
(Payday!)
Either way we’re feeling fine
(Feeling fine)
It’s a payday
(Playday!)
A playday
(Payday!)
Maybe both at the same time
(The same time)
[Final Refrain]
Hey!
(Did you say playday)
Say,
(Or was it payday)
… I suppose either way
(Is A-OK)
Hey!
(Did you say playday)
Say,
(Or was it payday)
… I suppose either way
(Is A-OK)
[Outro]
Hey!
(Hey!)
Playday!
(Payday!)
Payday!
(Playday!)
Either way
(A-OK!)
