Saturday's Child
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
Monday had a sad child
Always feeling low-down
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go, so
I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you take a ride at night (She's driving me wild)
You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight (Gonna spend my time)
You can tell the future's lookin' bright (Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)
If you love a Wednesday
You'll live your life apart, now
And if you love a Thrusday
She's gonna break your heart, so
I'm in love with Saturday's child
Everyt time you hold her close, you see (She's drivin' me wild)
You can feel the thrill it's gonna be (Gonna spend my time)
Now the future has a guarantee (Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)
Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe
I can tell by the way she looks at me
Friday like the good life
She'll take you for a ride, now
And Sunday makes a good wife
She wants to be a bride, so
I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you take a ride at night (She's drivin' me wild)
You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight (Gonna spend my time)
You can tell the future's lookin' bright (Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)
Every time you take a ride at night...
Always feeling low-down
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go, so
I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you take a ride at night (She's driving me wild)
You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight (Gonna spend my time)
You can tell the future's lookin' bright (Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)
If you love a Wednesday
You'll live your life apart, now
And if you love a Thrusday
She's gonna break your heart, so
I'm in love with Saturday's child
Everyt time you hold her close, you see (She's drivin' me wild)
You can feel the thrill it's gonna be (Gonna spend my time)
Now the future has a guarantee (Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)
Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe
I can tell by the way she looks at me
Friday like the good life
She'll take you for a ride, now
And Sunday makes a good wife
She wants to be a bride, so
I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you take a ride at night (She's drivin' me wild)
You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight (Gonna spend my time)
You can tell the future's lookin' bright (Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine)
Every time you take a ride at night...
Saturday's Child - The Monkees
As the opening track on The Monkees' Original Album Series, "Saturday's Child" establishes the group's signature blend of pop-rock and theatrical storytelling. Released in 1966, the song features the band's characteristic harmonies and a driving rhythm that defined their early sound. While often associated with the fictional narrative of the show, the recording stands as a quintessential example of 1960s teen pop, showcasing the Monkees' ability to craft catchy melodies and engaging lyrics that resonated with a generation. The track remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the era's optimism and the group's enduring influence on the television music format.
