Friday Night, August 14th Lyrics

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah! Hey!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah! Hey!
Friday night, August the 14th
Old lady luck smiled down on me
My income tax return came through
I played 047 and hit for two
I know that I probably should not
Matter of fact I probably could not
Buy all the good time meant for me

But then, Friday night, gonna be a memory
You know that the whole wide world will remember me, yeah
You find a little pussycat to come and see
Then I close my eyes and I'm free??
I know that I probably should not
Matter of fact I probably could not
Buy all the good time meant for me
Yeah!
Yeah

Friday night, August the 14th
(x4)

Well, I know that I probably should not
Matter of fact, I probably could not
Buy all the good time meant for me
Yeah!
Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah! Hey!
(x8)

Hey pussycat come and see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

A guy is trying to talk himself out of spending his entire tax return on prostitutes (and drugs?). The last line about pussy cats hints that he gave into his temptations. The ending solo is him getting funky :P
