Ragtop Day 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings 

1984 

The five o'clock Friday blows 

I got to let it go 

Put on my weekend clothes 

Turn on the rock 'n' roll 



Throw all our cares away 

It's a ragtop day 

It's a ragtop day 



Classy little white and red 

Turns everybody's head 

My baby meets me at the five and dime 

She's always right on time 



We roll all our cares away 

It's a ragtop day 

It's a ragtop day 



We'll cruise across the county line 

A little dance and dine 

A drive in picture show 

When the midnight's comin' down we're headin' back to town 

She lets her lovin' show 

Whoa oh oh oh whoa 



Feels like we're the only ones to see the mornin' sun 

Sleepin' through the afternoon and risin' with the moon 

Oh don't the stars look bright 

It's a ragtop night 

It's a ragtop night 

We'll throw all our cares away 

I live for that ragtop day 



It's a ragtop day 

It's a ragtop day 

It's a ragtop day 



-- Spoken: 

"Ooh, come on over here baby get in this car" 

"We gonna cruise on down to the GULF" 

"And listen to some WESTERN music" 

"Get ourselves a cool one at the Florabama, ya" 

"All right come on in here, yeah!" 

"You can move over little closer" 

"Ooh, be careful of that stick shift!" 

"Ya, let's rockit ragtime" 

"Was that your husband that just passed us in that station wagon fulla kids?" 

"Let's get outta here, Ow!"
