  Six o'clock already I was  just in the middle of a  dream

     | D                     | G                   | D     | G
I was  kissin' Valentino by a  crystal-blue Italian  stream

     | D                          | G                    | D   | G
But I  can't be late 'cause then I  guess I just won't get paid

| D                          | G                        | D
  These are the days when you  wish your bed was already  made

It's  just   another manic  Monday -  I wish it were Sunday

                | D      | G
'Cause that's my  fun day

               | D
I don't have to  run day

    | A7sus4              | D
It's  just   another manic  Monday

  Have to catch an early train  got to be to work by  nine#

   | D                      | G                        | D   | G
And  if I had an aeroplane I  still couldn't make it on  time

         | D                              | G                 | D | G
'Cause it  takes me so long just to figure  out what I'm gonna  wear

| D                            | G              | D
