Monday (Monday)


Late again today
He'd be in trouble
though he'd say he was sorry
He'd have to hurry out - to the bus


Tuesday (Tuesday)


Horace was so sad
He'd never had a girl that he could care for
And if he was late once more
He'd be out - uh-oh


Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
Well, he just stood there mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above
Said, "Horace Wimp, this is your life
Go out and find yourself a wife
(Come on, Horace)
Make a stand and be a man
And you will have a great life planned!"
(You can do it
Come on, Horace)


Wednesday


Horace met the girl
She was small and she was very pretty
He thought he was in love
he was afraid - uh oh


Thursday


Asked her for a date
The café down the street, tomorrow evening
His head was reeling
When she said, "Yes, ok."


Don't be afraid, just knock on the door
Well, he just stood there mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above
Said, "Horace Wimp, this is your life
Go out and find yourself a wife
(Come on, Horace)
Make a stand and be a man
And you will have a great life planned!"
(You can do it
Come on, Horace)


Friday


Horace, this is it!
He asks the girl if maybe they could marry
When she says "Gladly,"
Horace cries - boo hoo


Sunday


Everybody's at the church
When Horace rushes in
And says, "Now here comes my wife
For the rest of my life,"
And she did


Don't be afraid, just knock on the door.
Well, he just stood there mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above
Said, "Horace Wimp, this is your wife
Go out and find yourself a life
(Come on, Horace)
Make a stand and be a man
And you will have a great life planned!"
(Horace Wimp)
