The first time I met my love, was on a Monday morning,
And the second time I saw her was a Tuesday afternoon,
When she kissed me on a Wednesday, I couldn't wait for Thursday,
But I can tell you now my boys that Thursday never came.

Chorus:
Seven days are in the week in almost every circumstance,
Aye, and four seasons in the year, was what we learned at school,
But never count your chickens when you're dealing with the women,
For many's the wise man fell asleep and wakened up the fool.


My love she took the Winter time and turned it into spring time,
I never thought that love could change the world so much before,
I gave my heart and in return she promised me the summertime,
But I can tell you now my boys, that summer never came.

Chorus
