Richard Rodgers
Ev’ry Sunday Afternoon
(Verse 1)
[PATRICK]
I love to do my work
Never complain;
Never get tired
Don't mind the strain
I always say, "Old man
Wait till you're through
Sunday will come-
Thursday comes, too
In those two days
Think what you'll do."
For they're the lovely days with you

(Chorus 1)
[PATRICK]
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon and Thursday night
We'll be free as birds in flight
If on Sunday afternoon we ever fight
We'll make up on Thursday night
Leave the dishes
Dry your hands
Change your wishes
To commands
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon we'll be polite
But we'll make love on Thursday night
(Verse 2)
[MINNIE]
I work my life away
Thinking of play
What will I wear?
What will you say?
Then I remind myself
"Old girl, you're strong
And you're in love
Life can't go wrong
Smile your old smile
Sing your old song
Wait till those dear days come along."

(Chorus)
[MINNIE]
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon and Thursday night
We'll be free as birds in flight
If on Sunday afternoon we ever fight
We'll make up on Thursday night
I'm your slave, dear
But it's bliss
If you shave, dear
We can kiss
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon we'll be polite
But we'll make love on Thursday night
