Even Steven - Tom Robinson

We set sail on a Monday

Tuesday was all at sea

Scrubbed the decks on a Wednesday

Thursday locker and key

Friday came to the coastline

Saturday I was ashore

Someday I’ll quit this crazy business

And testify the law

Get even, Steven

Go down the line

Come in and get happy

And the sun will shine

Come on the right side

Get off your pride

Come in and be happy

And get satisfied

Met a young girl on a Monday

Tuesday I was in love

Saw her again on a Wednesday

Thursday wasn’t enough

Friday I gave her a halfpenny

Saturday sat on her knee

Someday I’m gonna have to tell that girl

You’re the only boy for me

Get even, Steven

Go down the line

Come in and get happy

And the sun will shine

Come on the right side

Get off your pride

Come in and be happy

And get satisfied

We made love on a Monday

Tuesday woke up alone

Broke out in a rash on a Wednesday

Thursday I lost a stone

Friday they certified me

Saturday I was in bed

Someday I’ll quit this stupid song

And go back home instead

Get even, Steven

Go down the line

Come in and get happy

And the sun will shine

Come on the right side

Get off your pride

Come in and be happy

And get satisfied
