Poor old Robinson Crusoe, a lonely man was he, with not a soul but / Friday to keep him company. So when I'm feeling lonely, humble, sad / and meek, I just remember that for friends I have a whole good week! / Six days as well as Friday, companions brave and strong; it really / seems they all deserve a tribute and a song. So here's to good Man / Friday, and to his brothers six. There's always one to help me / should I be in a fix. Suppose that Monday's greyish -- there's Tuesday / coming soon, and if the morning's boresome -- there is the afternoon! / A toast, then, to "a whole week" which has such friendly ways, for / should one Friday disappear -- it sends six other days.
