MONDAY MORNING (Worrell)
Frank Worrell  1938

as recorded By Artie Shaw & his Orchestra (vocal - Helen Forrest)  
December 13th 1938


Monday mornin', all alone again, on
Monday mornin', nothing to depend on!
Gotta wait the whole week through
For one day with you!

Oh Monday mornin', six more days till heaven,
Sunday mornin', one good day in seven!
Gotta wait the whole week through
For one day with you!

I'd like to strike a bargain,
If Father Time would guarantee
To hurry through each weekday,
And then on Sunday slow down for me!

'Cause now it's Monday mornin', six long days remaining,
I'm forlorn and still I'm not complaining!
Gotta wait my whole life through
For one day with you!

It's so amazing, it's as strange as can be,
So little time makes such a difference in me!
Last night was heavenly with you,
But I woke up this mornin' blue!

Oh, Monday mornin',
Yes, Monday mornin',
Gotta wait the whole week through
For one day with you!

Oh, Monday mornin',
Yes, Sunday mornin',
Gotta wait the whole week through
For one day with you!

I'd like to strike a bargain,
If Father Time would guarantee
To hurry through each weekday,
And then on Sunday slow down for me!

'Cause now it's Monday mornin', six long days remaining,
I'm forlorn and still I'm not complaining!
Gotta wait my whole life through
For one day with you!
Six more days for one day with you!
