There’s a song that you don’t hear too often, but I like it, and I’ve always wondered what the title is. I think it **might** be from the 60s. It goes through the days of the week, and I think that there are different activities for each day. The tune is quite catchy. I can only remember one snippet of the words: “on a Monday, a Monday. . .” That pattern repeats for each day. ---

_Except for Monday_ sung by Lorrie Morgan. It’s newer than I thought. Just a WAG. ---

Johnny Cash covered that song it’s called ‘I got Stripes’. I think he recorded it in the 70s. ---
