Title: Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday, she's no saint
Third day of the week if you're religious
Second day of the week if you ain't
She don't feel the need to get litigious

Suicide Tuesday, a day of severe depression
'Tuesday' comes from 'Tewesday', meaning 'Tīw's Day' or Mars - God of war
That's the comedown from an ecstacy, a funeral procession
You really want to open that door?

Tuesday night is always karaoke
Lucky or unlucky depending on your view
Drink and cigarettes will make your voice croaky
For the audience that's nothing new

Tuesday's Regret for Shrove Tuesday
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Pancakes on a slow newsday
But don't get a fat face!

What can you say about Tuesday?
Not a lot as it turns out
Who cares about Patch or Super Tuesday?
For a day more interesting day you'll have to scout
