I'm gonna call my friends and get 'em here right away

Well now there's Bud & Joe & Jim & John & Hank & also Ray

Oh the weekend's here, looks like a swingin' day

The surf is up and were leavin' right away

Well we jumped in the woody, it's ten after ten

Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week-end



Well a-here we are but it's dowdy and it's grey

The surf is down man, it's not so good today

Oh the day is young, look overthere; thataway!

Our band is here and they're just about to play

Now we danced all day till sundown set in

Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week—end



The day is over and we'll soon be on our way

We'll wait till tomorrow, for it's another day

Our boards need wax, but look overthere; thataway!

The band is back and they're just about to play

We kicked off our shoes and stomped around once again

Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week-end

Hooray for week-end
