Backstory:

Stuck in traffic one hot, summer, Monday morning, with jackhammers going off on my right and left, I leaned back in my seat and cried aloud to the Fates, "Why can't Monday morning begin at noon?" Soon after, I went to buy sandals and I used the line when the guy at the cash register complained about his day. He laughed, that's when I knew I had a good title!

Lyrics:

                                                  
WHY CAN'T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
writer: Pete Papageorge

V1:	I got to be on time for the daily grind
	But it'll never end soon enough
	I got to stay alive through the nine-to-five
	But today it's gonna be real tough
	Cause I stayed out late, I didn't hesitate
	I just like to have a good ole time
	Now, I'm payin' the price for that extra spice
	Even though it's not really a crime, tell me

CHORUS:	WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
		Why does every week begin so soon?
		Well, I'm only half awake and not in tune
		So, WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?

V2:	There's a nine o'clock-culture shock
	Stack o'paper on my desk
	All my motor skills are just about nil
	And I'm startin' to feel depressed
	Then the boss walks in and I manage a grin
	Pretendin' like everything's fine
	But it's just no use, cause he knows the truth
	By the look of these bloodshot eyes, uh!	

(Repeat CHORUS)

Bridge:	Oh, lordy, I’m so tired
		I hope I don’t get fired
		Will this day ever end
		But, I won't say never again

WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
Well, WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?
Not every day....
Just Monday
