A small crowd singing along at the local pub on a Friday night.
lyrics
It's Friday Night
It’s Friday night so David’s in the bar
Lays twenty dollars down on the hockey pool
Says, “How you doin’ ‘Mare”, sips on a beer
Takes his seat at the piano stool
CHORUS
He plays for his supper and he plays for his friends
» 1/ Those Tin Pan Alley songs
» 2/ Those great old country songs
» 3/ Those great old Mowtown songs
And he loves what he sees when he looks at the crowd
And everybody sings along
‘Cause it’s Friday night
Yeah, it’s Friday night
David’s wife Marie takes her table at the front
Orders suicide wings and a cold white wine
Listens and sings and chats between tunes
And laughs at all of his old lines
BRIDGE
Marie laughs and whispers, “For goodness sake,
Dave aren’t you ever going to take a break”
