Come Saturday Morning

(album: Come Saturday Morning - 1969)

Come Saturday morning
I'm going away with my friend
We'll Saturday-spend till the end of the day
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone

You know what the trouble is?
Trouble is that probably all the good things in life
Take place in no more than a minute
I mean all I did, I, I bet you at the end of seventy years should you lose someone
You can sit down, you can figure the whole thing out
You spent nineteen years sleeping
You spent five years going to the bathroom
You spent thirty-five years doing
Some kinda work you absolutely hated
Spent seven thousand eight hundred and fifty-three minutes blinking your eyes
And added to that, you got that one minute of good things
Then one day you wonder whether you're minute's up

And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone
