Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A]

[Verse 1]
The [A]weekend is the [D]weekend
And it's [A]sunny in the [D]park
I'll [A]stay here with my [D]beer and fish and [A]chips
till it [D]gets dark
I've [A]got a lot of [D]homework
But [A]homework he [D]can wait
I [A]never start my [D]homework
till its [A]already [D]too late
My [A]parents say [D]think about your [A]future
and my [D]teachers say the [A]same
But it's [D]hard
when there's a [A]basketball [D]game at the [A]park
It's 19[D]98 [A]and everybod[D]y's say[A]ing,
[D]"Harry, you're [A]going to be a lawyer some

[Interlude 1]
[A](day)[D][A][D]
[A][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
It's [A]Monday bloody [D]Monday
And there's [A]two things I for[D]got
I for[A]got to do my [D]homework
And I've [A]only got [D]one sock
I'm [A]halfway through a [D]test
But I [A]just can't concen[D]trate
I'm [A]sitting next to Fon[D]taine
I want to [A]ask her on [D]a date
I [A]really want to [D]start a conver[A]sation
But each [D]time she walks [A]past
I start [D]choking on my [A]pencil
and fall [D]flat on my [A]ass
I need to [D]concen[A]trate
If I don't [D]get this [A]grade
Then I might [D]fail to be a [A]lawyer some[D]day

[Pre-chorus 1]
But [E]just right now
can't think of anything better to do
Than just [D]sit down at the piano
and write this tune
And may[C]be later, maybe later in the afternoon
I'll sit [D]back and relax
and think of all the things I'm going to do

[Chorus 1]
[A](Someday)[D]
[A]I'll buy[D] an old car[A][D][A][D]
[A](Someday)[D]
[A]I'll get[D] that car to sta[A]rt[D][A][D]
[A](Someday)[D]
[A]I'll learn how[D] to drive too[A][D][A][D]
And then [A]some[D]day
Im[A]agine all the [D]things I could [A]do[D][A][D]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]That[D] was 1998 now[Am]
Bring it [D]forward to the present day now
[Am]'Cause some things have chan[D]ged
But [E]some things never change

[Verse 3]
The [A]weekend is the [D]weekend
And it's [A]sunny in the [D]park
I'll [A]stay here with my [D]beer and fish and [A]chips
till it [D]gets dark
I've [A]just saw Peter [D]Parsons
Who [A]used to be in [D]my class
I [A]always gave him [D]wedgies
'cause I [A]thought he worked [D]too hard
He [A]said, "Harry, [D]life is [A]great,
I feel so [D]happy these [A]days
I'm a [D]litigation law[A]yer
So I [D]got it [A]made
I'm going [D]out with Fon[A]taine,
remember [D]her from tenth [A]grade?
I drive a [D]Porsche so I [A]can't com[D]plain"

[Pre-chorus 2]
[E]Shit, and look at me,
can't think of anything better to do
Than just [D]sit down at the piano
and write this tune
And may[C]be later, maybe later in the afternoon
I'll sit [D]back and relax
and think of all the things I'm going to do

[Chorus 2]
