lyrics
Monday Sunday Funday
Woke up this morning feeling pretty drained
All that weekend sun had gotten to my brain
So I called out from work with a slight migraine
Added minor stomach discomfort, best not to over-explain
Then a thought occurred to me…
Now that I have a whole day to myself…
I could make a Monday feel like a Sunday
I could make a Monday a Sunday a fun day
Then a thought occurred to me…
Now that I have a whole day to myself…
I could be tackling the list, tackling the list, tackling the list
I could be writing a new song, getting laundry done, learning Mah-jongg
I could be making scrambled eggs, shaving both my legs, knitting spider webs
But what about my Monday, my Sunday, my Funday
I should be… tackling the list, tackling the list, tackling the list
I should pay my credit card, mow the neighbor’s yard, eat a tub of lard
I should buy a Chia Pet for men I haven’t met on the internet
Hey! What about my gift card, my gift card from Amazon
I still got a gift card, a gift card from Amazon
I could buy a book about writing a new resume
After today, I may be needing one anyway
Cause I should be tackling the list, tackling the list, tackling the list
I could crumple up the list, crumple up the list, I’m getting really pissed
I could crumple up the list, that f*cking Bucket List, I’m slitting both my wrists
And after getting nothing done, not having one bit of …Fun
I can’t believe it’s already 4 o’clock
And I made a Monday feel like…a Monday
And I guess I’m gonna need a day off!
“Hauntingly beautiful to deliciously wicked & comic*” describe the music of Lana Peck, think a cross between Christine Lavin
and Kate Bush. Her songs vary from pop or jazz ballads to “geek songs” (think Timelord or Wizard Rock).
Fun, sweet & cute songs from the BEST YouTube channel I ever co-created! Seriously addicting little "ear-worms" some of them; Polar Bears, Popcorn, and the Fruit Song...give it a listen! Lana Peck
