Friday Planet by Halle Uchida

Here, every day is Friday
Everybody's restless
Tomorrow is a long-awaited Saturday
Hope keeps the planet spinning

In reality, tomorrow is Friday too, but
One day, if we work hard, it'll surely come--
Sa-tur-day!

Dizzy, dizzy Friday Planet
Tomorrow's a day off
Should we go shopping?
Should we spend the whole day asleep?
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
I'm dreaming of the weekend (that never comes), goodnight

Sometimes the people from the neighboring planet
Come to teach us the truth
Those curious about alien lifeforms* gather
*(星じゅう, lit. "spacebeast(s)")
And reality, reality is thrusted at them

But it's okay,
Everyone killed themselves out of shock, so
The people left don't know a thing

Dizzy, dizzy Friday Planet
Even if I cry a bit today
Just look at the calendar
And goodbye to my tears!
Dizzy, dizzy Friday Planet
Tomorrow's a day off
Should we go and see a movie?
Should we go out for a drive?
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
It turns and dreams of the weekend (that never comes)
Everyone's hopes are what keeps Friday Planet spinning
