The Do - The Calendar Lyrics
Monday some sort of gentlemanCame knocking at my doorTo offer me garments and jewelsHe made me dress up like a princessThen gave me the billAt least I knew what to wear for youTuesday went to an old ladyWith half her teeth missingWho could see my future quite clearShe grabbed my hand and opened itAnd placed something in"Keep it close 'til it burns" she saidSaturday and SundayI know you'll be in townBehind the curtainI'm learning my linesAnd I make sure feelings don't show, oh, ohWednesday I decidedI should learn something newLike a language or a dance I could boastI worked harder and harder as my only goalWas to make a better impression on you dearThursday by the harbourI questioned the sea"Will I ever deserve that man?"The sky filled with heavy cloudsAs my eyes with tearsI had to run back home and crySaturday and SundayI know you'll be in townBehind the curtainI'm learning my linesAnd I make sure feelings don't show, oh, ohFriday I was on my wayTo see a fine friendI couldn't care less of my looksThere was no one I could cross hereI strolled with no fearWhen I found myself face to face with youSaturday and SundayI knew you'd be in townBut it's Friday nightOh you took me off my guardSaturday and SundayMy dresses all dropped downMy palm started burningAnd I spoke a funny tongueFriday as it startedThe clocks all stopped turningForgot all my skills and my linesI had better to learnMuch better to learnBetter to learn
