The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Monday had a sad child Always feeling low down, Tuesday had a dream child She's always on the go Now I'm in love with Saturday's child She drives me wild Gonna spend my time Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine. If you love a Wednesday You'll live your life apart now And if you love a Thursday She's gonna break your heart, So I'm in love with Saturday's child She drives me wild Gonna spend my time Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine. Seven days of the week made to choose from But only one is right for me I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe. I can tell by the way she looks at me Friday likes the good life She'll take you for a ride now And Sunday makes a good wife But she wants to be a bride So I'm in love with Saturday's child She drives me wild Gonna spend my time Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine.
