One more week's just starting
The outlook's unusually bright
I'm the kingfish of finance
Spite of a Saturday night

I'm not well up in knowledge
My Latin is terribly low
Today I'm the hero at college
I'm the only one with dough

Here it is Monday and I've still got a dollar
So why should I holler
'Cause here it is Monday and I've still got a dollar

Now, usually Sunday I'm as clean as a collar
So why should I holler
I'm the banker on the campus 'cause I've still got dough

When a man at college has a dollar
He's an All-American guy
Havin' big times, spendin' his dimes
On lots o' cups o' coffee and pie

Saturday's my day, 'cause the cheque comes on Friday
But why should I holler
Here it is Monday and I still got a dollar
