Once Around the Weekend (Alt. Mix) lyrics

ONCE AROUND THE WEEKEND (ALTERNATIVE MIX)

I stay in every night of the week
They try but I won't speak
To be my friends
You'll see me once I'm on the mend
Oh man once around the weekend
Oh man once around the weekend

I watch myself fall apart
I watch the rabbits in my yard
There goes another round the bend
I gotta sweep this floor again
Oh man once around the weekend
Oh man once around the weekend (play it up!?)

[spoken:] You know I stay in
Five, six, sometimes seven days a week
But every so often I get that itch and that urge
To go chasing that rabbit
Go chasin' that long black hair

Oh man once around the weekend
Oh man once around the weekend

Well I won't go out to relax
And if you look hard you might see my tracks
They call and try and be my friends
I gotta sweep this floor again
Oh man
Oh man

I thought I heard "Go chasin' that lone black hare" ...but my hearing ain't always all that great!

that makes a hell of a lot more sense

[A Regular]

I hear it as a pun, and he's not really tempted to be chasing a long black hare, but a woman with long black hair.

I think its a little wink, ala norwegian wood.

totally.

For some reason that hair/hare part reminded me of Chestnut Mare by The Byrds.
