I'm gonna call my friends and get 'em here right away 
Well now there's Bud & Joe & Jim & John & Hank & also Ray 
Oh the weekend's here, looks like a swingin' day 
The surf is up and were leavin' right away 
Well we jumped in the woody, it's ten after ten 
Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week-end 

Well a-here we are but it's dowdy and it's grey 
The surf is down man, it's not so good today 
Oh the day is young, look overthere; thataway! 
Our band is here and they're just about to play 
Now we danced all day till sundown set in 
Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week—end 

The day is over and we'll soon be on our way 
We'll wait till tomorrow, for it's another day 
Our boards need wax, but look overthere; thataway! 
The band is back and they're just about to play 
We kicked off our shoes and stomped around once again 
Well a-hooray, I said a-hooray, hooray for week-end 
Hooray for week-end
