Thursday take me away
To a land of sunshine all day
Let me fly across an azure sky
Floating on a cloud a natural high
On a sandy beach cocktail in hand
Caressed by a warm zephyr understand 
Thursday take me away

Do you ever feel like leaving town
When life and work gets you down
Like a hamster on the daily grind
You are not alone you will find
Look around friend what do you see
A whole lot of folk on their knees
Blank faces working to live
At breaking point somethings gonna give

Thursday take me away
Can't take no more that's what I say
Abracadabra a magic wand wave
Break my chains I'm just a slave
They sold me a golden dream 
Nothing but a pyramid scheme
Thursday take me away

Friday and the weekend hey
Seem such a long way away
I don't think that I'm gonna make
Phoning in sick time to fake it
Probably won't even be missed
May as well get wasted and pissed 
What a real sad state of affairs 
The truth is pal nobody really cares

Thursday take me away
To a land of sunshine all day
Let me fly across an azure sky
Floating on a cloud a natural high
On a sandy beach cocktail in hand
Caressed by a warm zephyr understand 
Thursday take me away
