And now and then when I'm in the mood
  I might get up at the crack of noon
  Then take a wander down to the arcade
  Might as well clock up a high score
  And hang around with my mates before
  I wander back to find my dole's been paid
  Stay outdoors, play football
  Or simply play the fool. If it rains go back in
  You can always watch Play School
    Don't try to tell me that it ain't a lot
  I'm gonna make the best of what I've got
  So I've got no job ..... welcome to the whole week
    I've always got my LP's to play
  Or find a friend to get a loan and tape
  And any time it's time to eat again
  Before you know, it's any night and so
  You meet the gang and go along the road
  Take any chance to have a drink or ten
  Share the crack. Blokes with cash
  Get a hit of something else
  Out all night. Shoot and fight
  It makes you feel that you're yourself
    Some of you have got it in for me
  I don't need that or your sympathy
  So I've got no job ..... Welcome to the whole week
    If you don't mind, I have decided to live my life
  Well, it's always something to do
    My girl comes round and all we do is talk
  For hours on end, or we don't talk at all
  While we do more ... or less ... as we please
  You keep on that it's wrong
  We haven't earned lives of ease
  But there's no work to do
  And I won't queue up on my knees
    I never said that this was my ideal
  But still I'm gonna feel and make it real
  So I've got no job ...... Welcome to the whole week
    I never promised you I'd go away
  You can't ignore me cos I'm here to stay
  So it's too bad .... Let me at the whole week
