It's been
one week since you looked at me...

Eight days a week
Is not enough to show I care

"Eight Days a Week," The Beatles

Sandra Dodd said...

They said how long can you hang around
I said a week, maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown

"California," Joni Mitchell

Saturnday night
Is the loneliest night of the week

You've been gone a week
And I tried so hard...

Mamas and the Papas, "Go Where you Wanna Go"

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks
And the rich folks hate the poor folks
All of my folks hate all of your folks
It's American as apple pie

But during National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans
'Cause it's so very chic
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you cannot stand
You can tolerate him if you try
During National Brotherhood Week.

(Tom Lehrer)

(definitely not politically correct, but remember...it's satire)

Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year

Montgomery Gentry

They'd not been gone but about three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank
Never to rise anymore

"House Carpenter," which I know from Joan Baez's ballad album in the 1960s

I would stay for a day
or a week if I wished
But there's not much to do
when your friends are all fish...

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...

(80's something)

Sunday Monday happy days
Tuesday Wednesday happy days
Thursday Friday happy days
Saturday, what a day
Rockin' all week with you

No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week,

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
George Thorogood's version

Meghan said...

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, so early in the morning.
These are the chores we'll do this week, do this week, do this week.

nursery rhyme

Margaret said...

He was six weeks a fallin'
Lord Lord Lord

The Grey Goose (the story in the song is a tall tale and there are several things in the song that take weeks instead of moments)

Sandra Dodd said...

So join us here each week, my friends,
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle!

The second of two verses at the end of original Gilligan's Island shows. They chopped it in re-runs, pretty much, for more commercials and voiceovers.
