If you want to see the sun, then son you better get up 
And daughter, if you've never lived, then now's the time to start 
Put a ribbon in your hair to save yourself from harm 

Saturday, Saturday, never a moment of rest 
The wolves are howling at the door, would you kindly look your best? 

Children, take your mother's hand and meet me at the gate 
Your father's packing up our things, he does the best he can, but winning all the best in life can leave a broken man 

Oh Sunday, Sunday, never a moment of peace 
The neighbors, they are laughing now, another stalking street
