I thought Ernie was saying "if I had my wish" on the second line, but maybe you're right. "Week" is harder than I thought it would be! What about weekends?
Everybody's working for the weekend... Everybody needs a second chance...

Never to rise anymore
"House Carpenter," which I know from Joan Baez's ballad album in the 1960s
