Monday Morning In Paradise - Tom Paxton

The toast is burning;

the kids won’t eat

The bacon’s splattered on my bare feet

The kids are screaming;

the dog’s in heat

It’s Monday morning in paradise

Granddad’s complaining about his heart

The brand new toaster just flew apart

It’s started snowing;

the car won’t start

It’s Monday morning in paradise

It’s Monday morning

A brand new day

A new day dawning

With a hell to pay

It’s Monday morning

I’m here to say

They seem to come every other day

My son the genius has lost a shoe

His father’s socks are, one black one blue

And here comes my old friend the flu

It’s Monday morning in paradise

It’s Monday morning

A brand new day

A new day dawning

With a hell to pay

It’s Monday morning

I’m here to say

They seem to come every other day

The toast is burning;

the kids won’t eat

The bacon’s splattered on my bare feet

The kids are screaming;

the dog’s in heat

It’s Monday morning in paradise

Monday morning in paradise

Monday morning in paradise

It’s Monday morning in paradise

It’s Monday morning
