Lyrics
Weekdays: Busy & Crazy
I get up in the morning, can't wait to start my day
Every day's a new day, I'm busy in the morning
And in the evening too, the weekdays are just crazy
There's so much work to do, tick tock, tick tock
Round round the clock, tick tock, tick tock
I go to school on weekdays, I have fun at weekend
Weekend: Fun & Exciting
I take my bike, I skateboard, I play with all my friends
I do what I want to do, every day's exciting
With lots of time to fill, I have fun at weekend
Every day's a new day, with lots of time to fill
