I'm On My Way To Saturday

(album: The Many Moods Of Belafonte - 1962)

I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along with me
I'm on my way to merry be
And I feel like having company
So I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along with me
How happy we would be

I'm on my way to Saturday
Where the cherry wine is flowing free
I'm on my way to the moonlit skies
And I think I'll stop at paradise
Cause I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along with me

Today's only Monday
And my worries grow and grow
But soon come the one day
When I tell them away to go
I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along with me

I'm on my way to share a kiss
With the girl who's interested in this
So I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along and see
How happy we can be

I'm on my way to Saturday
Where a dreamer really ought to be
I'm on my way to steel the heart
Of the girl who's tearing mine apart
Because I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along with me

Today's only Tuesday
And the hours dragging on
But soon it's no shoes day
And my cares and woes are gone

I'm on my way to Saturday
Where the evening's a melody
I'm on my way to sing a song
To the girl who cares to come along

And so I'm on my way to Saturday
And I wish you come along and see
How happy we can be, how happy we can be
Lord, Lord in the Carnival
How happy we can be
