The Rebel Black Dot Labor Song of the Day

They Might Be Giants, "Seven Days of the Week (I Never Go to Work)" from Here Comes the 123s (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: The same song is featured on the album Here Comes the ABCs under the truncated title "I Never Go to Work."
"Oh, no, no, I never go to work,
Oh, no, no, I never go to work,
Oh, no, no, I never go to work,
Oh, no, no, I never go to work.

"On Mondays, I never go to work.
On Tuesdays, I stay at home.
On Wednesdays, I never feel inclined,
Work is the last thing on my mind.
On Thursdays—it's a holiday!
And Fridays I detest.
Oh, it's much too late on a Saturday,
And Sunday is the day of rest.

"Oh, yes, yes, practice trumpet every day,
Oh, yes, yes, practice trumpet every day,
Oh, yes, yes, practice trumpet every day,
Oh, yes, yes, practice trumpet every day…"
