[Chorus: Michael Rose and Duckie Simpson & Puma Jones]
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
[Verse]
That's the day slavery begins
A lot of us been sleeping
Great men that they educate
Are murderers and robbers of this town
Be careful when spreading your wings
‘Cause this time around Babylon
You just can't win
[Chorus: Michael Rose and Duckie Simpson & Puma Jones]
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
[Verse]
Some people work, some of us don't
Remember you're getting old
Be smart and no one will use you
They want to pick, choose, and refuse you
Abuse, aggravate
While still trying to penetrate
[Chorus: Michael Rose and Duckie Simpson & Puma Jones](x2)
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
[Verse]
Solomon o' Grundy
Born on a Monday
Exit on Tuesday
He crept on a Wednesday
He Walked on a Thursday
Talked on a Friday
Have fun on a Saturday
Go to Church on Sunday
9 to 5 on Monday
[Pre-Chorus]
That day I don't like
That day I don't like
That day I don't like
That day I don't like
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
[Chorus: Michael Rose and Duckie Simpson & Puma Jones]
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
One day, I don't like
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
Is a Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
