Everyone's waiting for the whistle to blow,

Time to get in our shore goin' clothes.

Working on a pier, on a ship, or in the mines,

Just can't wait 'til its quitting time!



Chorus:

Monday through Friday is too damn long,

Working all day has got to be wrong.

The weekend is coming, but it just don't last,

So hurry up me boys, let's tap that cask!



Spending every day working like a mule,

Remembering the hangover and acting like a fool.

Thinkin' of the drinkin' and the trouble we were in,

Countin' down the minutes 'till we do it again!



Chorus



If you are feeling kind of down -

It's time to tap it!

Feeling happy as a clown -

Time to tap it!

If the boys are coming 'round -

We must tap it!

When the girls are all unwound -

Tap it (Tap it)! Tap it (Tap it)!



They say the workday is the curse of modern man,

But not to worry gents, 'cause we've got a plan.

We'll get us all a cask that needs some breakin' in,

We're sure to kill it off 'fore Monday comes again



Chorus



The Devil invented work to torture you and I,

The Good Lord gave us weekends and I think we know why.

Two extra days with no chores or no tasks,

Gives us extra time to tap - that - cask!



Monday through Friday is too damn long,

Working all day has got to be wrong.

The weekend is coming, but it just don't last,

So hurry up me boys, let's tap that cask!



If you are feeling kind of down -

It's time to tap it!

Feeling happy as a clown -

Time to tap it!

If the boys are coming 'round -

We must tap it!

When the girls are all unwound -

Tap it (Tap it)! Tap it (Tap it)! Tap it (Tap it)!

Tap - that - cask!
