Ella and the Dreamweavers- On Friday Nights Lyrics:

I can’t sleep in the ant room when the kids are in the zone
They say go to the Coup with Henry and Gregorio
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep.

Ella said wake up at 6.45
I doubt that I’ll make it to Star Camp alive
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep.

‘Cause every other Friday it’s always the same
I swear by this time next week I’ll be insane
The AP4 and the A381
T.E.C.S. stands for fun

Good morning sunshine you’ll be the death of me
I’ve got the air con on full whack but I still feel sleepy
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep.

I drop the kids at the airport but the flights been delayed
Doug said wait with them I’m gonna be here all day
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep
On Friday nights I don’t get no sleep.

‘Cause every other Friday it’s always the same
I swear by this time next week I’ll be insane
The AP4 and the A381
T.E.C.S. stands for fun

Now that it is Sunday and it is through
I can sleep forever if I want to
The AP4 and the A381
T.E.C.S. stands for fun

It’s the end of camp now and emotions are running deep
And I’ll miss those Fridays where I never got no sleep
On Friday nights I never got no sleep
On Friday nights I never got no sleep.
