Hey you steppin� on my head
Why you gotta throw rocks in my bed
Mr. Shoeshine, could you kindly keep it down
Do we really need an Apocalypse right now?

Where�s my sunshine, Sunshine was my friend
She was good to me, right up to the end
Where I left her, well it�s hard to tell
Got to call, just a soon as I get well

Come payday�
Everybody gets strange
Talking �bout my Payday, hey hey
Better get out my way, baby

I don�t mind a job, work�s no big deal
It�s just how they treat you, how they make you feel
I�ll take my check, you take your mood
Let�s just say, whatever man, whatever gets you through

Come payday�
Blow those blues away, boy
Talking �bout my Payday, hey hey
Don�t be waitin� up for me

Brothers, Sisters
Tonite we party, tonite we�re dancin�
Hey, we�re talkin� the ultimate smash of a lifetime

This one�s on me�..

(Instrumental Solos)

Sometime�s it like a war in here, Face the night alone
But ever since I work up, felt it in my bones
Waiting for that hour�s all that keeps me clear
There�s gonna be some lightnin� strike when I get outta here

Cause it payday, y�all
Better stay out my way
Talking �bout some hey day, hey hey
Man it�s all comin� home

Payday, gonna shake it all down tonite
Payday, Gonna do my dance tonite
