Inspired! Living for the Weekend (Paterson / Alexander)

Close this window

We used to wait all week for Friday night to arrive and then the girls would dance around their handbags with their white stilettos on and the guys would get sloshed at the bar drumming up enough courage to ask a girl to dance.

We've always loved the melody and beat of African Highlife music, so when we heard Ziggy sing we just had to include him on this song!

verse 1
I washed my hair and had a bath, got dressed up in my clothes
And wouldn't you only know it there's a run in my pantyhose
And I'm going down, going down, going down the club
I'm living for the weekend, it's the time that I love

verse 2
I've been working every day and I'm gasping for a pint
Me and ma pals are gonna hit the toon 'cos now it's Friday night
And I'm splashing on, splashing on, splashing on the 'Old Spice'
I'm living for the weekend, it's the time of my life

chorus
And we'll dance
And we'll dance

verse 3
She's dancing 'round her handbag, and I'm standing at the bar
"Hey Judy, there's that bloke I like - let's go and have a yarn"
I said, "Are you dancing?" "Are you asking?" "I'm asking" "Well, I'm dancing!"
If we're living for the weekend, let's show 'em how it's done!

chorus
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
