What weekends are all about....

I heard the song "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson and the lyrics seem to epitomize the nice things (or things that can be nice about weekends.) Personally, it made me imagine myself listening to it while swaying in a hammock.Don't ask me why, the last time I was actually in a hammock I fell out of it because of trying to swing in it too quickly! (Ah well, it's the idea that counts, after all, hammocks are supposed to be relaxing, right?) I also rather like the fact that weekends are distracting. I find that I'd make plans for a weekend (like chores) and then put them off for a day not just because I didn't want to do them, but because weekends are weekends and I don't feel as bad about not doing them. Anyway, I love weekends, I like banana pancakes and so I like this song! Enjoy

"Banana Pancakes"

Can't you see that it's just raining?
Ain't no need to go outside...

But, baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to.
Waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining?
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, like a ukulele
Momma made a baby
Really don't mind the practice
'cause you're my little lady
Lady, lady, love me
'cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining?
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need, mmm, mmm,
Can't you see, can't you see?
Rain all day, and I don't mind

But the telephone is singing
Ringing
It's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything
We need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm?
Wake up slow, mmm mm, wake up slow

But, baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what you're supposed to
Waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining?
There ain't no need to go outside
Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day, and I really, really, really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see?
You gotta wake up slow
