Les paroles de la chanson
« The calendar »
The Do

Monday some sort of gentleman
Came knocking at my door
To offer me garments and jewels
He made me dress up
Like a princess
Then gave me the bill
At least I knew what to wear for you
Tuesday went to an old lady
With half her teeth missing
Who could see my future quite clear
She grabbed my hand and opened it,
And placed something in
"Keep it close till it burns" she said

Saturday & Sunday
I know you’ll be in town
Behind the curtain
I’m learning my lines
And I make sure feelings don’t show

Wednesday I decided
I should learn something new
Like a language or dance
I could boast
I worked harder and harder
As my only goal
Was to make a better impression
On you dear
Thursday by the harbour
I questioned the sea
"Will I ever deserve that man?"
The sky filled with heavy clouds
As my eyes with tears
I had to run back home and cry

Saturday & Sunday
I know you’ll be in town
Behind the curtain
I’m learning my lines
And I make sure feelings don’t show

Friday I was on my way
To see a fine friend
I couldn’t care less of my looks
There was no one I could cross here,
I strolled with no fear
When I found myself
Face to face with you

Saturday & Sunday
I know you’ll be in town
But it’s Friday night
Oh you took me off my guard
Saturday & Sunday
My dresses all dropped down
My palm started burning
And I spoke a funny tongue
Friday as it started
The clocks all stopped turning
Forgot all my skills and my lines
I had better to learn
Much better to learn
Better to learn
