Lyrics

[00:10.71] Monday
[00:12.13] Late again today
[00:14.51] He'd be in trouble, though he'd say he was sorry
[00:21.57] He'd have to hurry out to the bus
[00:27.39] Tuesday
[00:28.99] Horace was so sad
[00:31.49] He'd never had a girl that he could care for
[00:38.52] And if he was late once more
[00:41.83] He'd be out, uh-oh
[00:45.78] Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
[00:50.35] While he just stood there mumblin', a-fumblin'
[00:53.94] Then a voice from above
[00:55.70] Said, "Horace Wimp, this is your life
[00:59.09] Go out and find yourself a wife (come on, Horace)
[01:01.72] Make a stand and be a man
[01:04.49] And you will have a great life planned!" (You can do it)
[01:12.35] (Come on, Horace)
[01:17.52] Wednesday
[01:19.31] Horace met the girl
[01:22.02] She was small and she was very pretty
[01:28.89] He thought he was in love, he was afraid, uh-oh
[01:34.67] Thursday
[01:36.15] Asked her for a date
[01:38.84] The café down the street, tomorrow evening
[01:45.81] His head was reeling
[01:48.65] When she said, "Yes, okay!"
[01:53.00] Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
[01:57.58] While he just stood there mumblin', a-fumblin'
[02:01.06] Then a voice from above
[02:03.18] Said, "Horace Wimp, this is your life
[02:06.34] Go out and find yourself a wife (come on, Horace)
[02:09.38] Make a stand and be a man
[02:11.72] And you will have a great life planned!" (You can do it)
[02:19.66] (Come on, Horace)
[02:25.16] Friday
[02:26.61] Horace, this is it
[02:29.25] He asks the girl if maybe they could marry
[02:36.15] When she says, "Gladly!"
[02:39.23] Horace cries, boo-hoo
[02:41.78] Sunday
[02:43.44] Everybody's at the church
[02:46.29] When Horace rushes in and says, "Now here comes my wife
[02:52.82] For the rest of my life"
[02:56.24] And she did
[03:00.38] Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
[03:04.85] While he just stood there mumblin', a-fumblin'
[03:08.33] Then a voice from above
[03:10.43] Said, "Horace Wimp, this is your wife
[03:13.68] Go out and make yourself a life (you can do it)
[03:16.45] Take a stand and be a man
[03:19.25] And you will have a great life planned!" (Horace Wimp)
[03:27.57] Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace
[03:30.32] Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace
[03:33.41] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday
[03:41.51] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday
[03:50.14] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday (Horace Wimp)
[03:58.56] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday
[04:06.82] (Horace Wimp, Horace Wimp, Horace Wimp)
[04:15.42]
