Caro Emerald
"Absolutely Me"
Clear the way boys, the lady has arrived
All you handsome fellas please wait for me to the right
Don't keep me waiting, ooh, that you for the drink
It's quarter past eleven, I'm not in the mood to think
Mr. Bandleader, let's kick out the jam
Gimme somethin' that'll light it up
And make my feet go BAM! BAM! BAM!
Because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible for me
But once you get to Friday what you get is absolutely me
Sweeter than the candy about to caress my lips
Imagine all the sugar when I start to shake my hips
It's not an illusion, I'm as live as live can be
Instead of all your promises, why don't you show all your charms to me
Mr. Bandleader, this arrangement has to change
Gimme somethin that'll light it up
Won't you let the boogie start to play
Because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible for me
But once you get to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I don't want a serenade
To hear you say a thing
All I need is your attention
And a 10-carat diamond ring
[Ready--Bust it!]
Because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible for me
But once you get to Friday what you get is absolutely me
