I'm gonna call my friends and get 'em here right away
Well now there's Bud & Joe & Jim & John & Hank & also Ray
Oh the weekend's here, looks like a swingin' day
The surf is up and were leavin' right away
Well we jumped in the woody, it's ten after ten
Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week-end

Well a-here we are but it's dowdy and it's grey
The surf is down man, it's not so good today
Oh the day is young, look overthere; thataway!
Our band is here and they're just about to play
Now we danced all day till sundown set in
Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week—end

The day is over and we'll soon be on our way
We'll wait till tomorrow, for it's another day
Our boards need wax, but look overthere; thataway!
The band is back and they're just about to play
We kicked off our shoes and stomped around once again
Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week-end
Hooray for week-end
