"Best buds, hanging strong,
Best friends can do no wrong,
Just two days, when we roll,
Video games I'll beat your score,
Watch cartoons, on TV,
Drink that frosty chuggafreeze,
That's what we like to do,
C'mon y'all, I'm talkin' to you!
Oh-oh
I'm a livin' for the weekend,
I'm a livin' for the weekend."
