Too soon to be out of my bed Too soon to be back at this bus-queue caper Or fumblin' for change for my picture paper On a Monday morning Wrong end of the week for a smile Wrong end of the day for being civil It's many a saint would be a devil On a Monday morning Where is the weekend now? Where is the whisky and beer I tasted? Gone the same way as the pay I wasted On a Monday morning If only the birds would booze, If only the sun was a party giver,
And if I could just give someone else my liver, On a Monday morning My lover she lies asleep My lover is warm and her heart is mellow I'd trade you the world just to share her pillow On a Monday morning Too soon to be out of my bed Too soon to be back at this bus-queue caper Or fumbling for change for my picture paper On a Monday morning (This was found at https://mainlynorfolk.info/cyril.tawney/songs/onamondaymorning.html )
