[Verse 1]
A F D
Bring in the contemplation for a motivation,
A F D
The light it takes to work detects a sign of hesitation,
A F D
It's easy at the bar to try and raise the bar,
A F D
But when the Monday morning comes, he simply can't be asked.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A F D
He's gonna pack in the smoking,
A F D
He's gonna give up the booze,
A F D
A lot of wishful hoping,
A F D
'Cause when Friday comes, you know what he'll do.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, he'll have his knees up,

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, get your knees up,

A F D
Deep in the deprivation, Monday morning frustrations,
A F D
Awake again, he's late again for the procrastination,
A F D
Soon as he sits up, he knows there's been a mix-up,
A F D
He said he's gonna join the gym, now everything's got tears up.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A F D
He's gonna start with a bandage,
A F D
He's gonna give up the gear,
A F D
No matter how he plans it,
A F D
When Friday comes, you'll see him back here so.
[Chorus]

A F D
I hope you enjoyed the workout, we certainly did,
A F D A
These are real people with real results,
F D
And if they can do it, you can do it.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A F D
He's gonna give up the fight,
A F D
And all the one-night stands,
A F D
But that ain't very exciting,
A F D
So when Friday comes, he's changing his plans.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, let's have our knees up,
