Four-thirty on a Friday, I was knocking off from work
Boss, I won't be in on Monday, I'll be face down in the dirt
Me and the boys got big plans, we won't be drinking water
Gonna be a real good time, might be a little hung over
He said
Play up, show up, come Monday don't be late
While you're working hard at drinking hard, remember, I don't wait
Play up, show up, when ya downing that shot glass
If you don't show up on Monday, well, I'm gonna kick your
Asking her to dance was the best damn thing I ever did
Nine months after that first kiss, we were having our first kid
Before I knew it, wedding bells were ringing in my ear
Those four words my boss said to me, had never been so clear
When he said
Play up, show up, come Monday don't be late
While you're working hard at drinking hard, remember, I don't wait
Play up, show up, when ya downing that shot glass
If you don't show up on Monday, well, I'm gonna kick your

Yeah, I know that they'll have questions, when they're old enough
I'll say when it comes to life, it's all about showing up
Play up, show up, next thing we're saying vows
I was working hard at drinking hard, but I love how things turned out
Play up, show up, everybody raise your glass
I'll be showing up on Monday, or I'll kick my own
Play up, show up, come Monday don't be late
While you're working hard at drinking hard, remember, I don't wait
Play up, show up, it all goes by so fast
Here's to showing up on Monday, everybody raise your (glass)
