Tukani (Monday Is Grey)

by Cleaners From Venus

on On Any Normal Monday (1982)

[Verse 1]
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh

I didn't get up til' lunchtime today
Not much point on this estate
I don't come alive til' round about five
When you get back from work, but today you were late

[Chorus]
I don't want to go into town
The train's expensive, the bus is too crowded
I didn't really have a bad day
But I feel disconnected, there's nothing to say

Yeah ~ Monday dreaming
Some days are colored but Monday is grey
Whoa ~ Monday evening
This is the jungle and I am the prey

[Verse 2]
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya oh

An endless jangle spills out of the radio
Gives me the feeling I'm not on my own
The DJ's a moron who thinks he's more of a friend

[Chorus 2]

I don't want to go into town
The train's expensive, the bus is too crowded
I didn't really have a bad day
But I feel disconnected, nothing to say

Yeah ~ Monday dreaming
Some days are colored but Monday is grey
Whoa ~ Monday evening
This is the jungle and I am the prey

[Outro]

Yeah ~ Monday dreaming
Some days are colored but Mono-day's grey
Whoa ~ Monday evening
This is the jungle and I am the prey

Tukani, Tukani, ya ya ooh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya ooh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya ooh
Tukani, Tukani, ya ya ooh
