All week long the world seems oh, so blue
'Cause I'm away from you
Miss you, too
Ev'rything goes wrong
And there's nobody to cheer me
When you're not near me
I'm blue ev'ry Monday
Thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday
I cry all day Wednesday
Oh my, how I long for you
And then comes Thursday
Gee! it's long, it never goes by
Friday makes me feel like I'm gonna die
But after payday, that's my fun day
I shine all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
(Orchestral Break)
Say, I can't work ev'ry Monday
Thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I'm tired all day Tuesday
I'm fired on Wednesday
Just 'cause my mind's all on you
I'm back on Thursday
Then the Boss gives me one more try
Friday, worse again, I just dream and sigh
And then comes payday, that's my fun day
I'm glad all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you

As recorded by FRANK SINATRA:
I'm blue ev'ry Monday
Thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday
I cry all day Wednesday
Oh my, how I long for you
And then comes Thursday
Gee! it's long, it never gets by
And Friday makes me feel just like I'm gonna die
But after payday is my fun day
I shine all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
(Orchestral Break)
And then comes Thursday
Gee! it's long, it never goes by
Friday makes me feel like I'm gonna die
But after payday is my fun day
I shine all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
That one day, it's a fun day
Sunday is my day with you
