Lyrics
Some things are happening and I can’t make it clear
(Woh yeah)
And all around I feel the sound of something new
(Woh yeah)
Cause when the weekend comes around
It shows just where I can be found
And when the time has come for you
You’ll know just where I’ll be
I’m talking about the weekend
Talking about Friday
Talking about Saturday
Talking about the weekend yeah

Cause when it happens I’ll be there
You’ll know just where I can be found
And when invited I’ll be there
You’ll know just where I’ll be
