 Monday:  Late again, today,
 He'd be in trouble though he'd say  he was sorry,
 He'd have to hurry  out to the bus
 Tuesday:  Horace was so sad,
 He'd never had a girl that he  could care  for
 And if he was late  once more, he’d be out  oh oh
 Don't be afraid,  just knock on the door,
 Well he  just stood there mumblin'  and fumblin'
 Then a voice from above  said
"Horace  Wimp, this is  your life,
 Go on  and find yourself  a wife
Make  a stand and be  a man,
 And you  will have a great  life plan"
 You can do  it
 Come on Horace
 Wednesday:  Horace met a girl,
 She was small and she was very pretty,
 He thought he was  in love, he was afraid  oh oh
 Thursday:  Asks her for a date,
 The cafe down the street tomorrow evening,
His  head was reeling,  when she said "Yes,  OK"
 Friday:  Horace, this is it,
 He asks the girl if maybe they  could marry,
 When she says "gladly"  Horace cries  "Boo Hoo"
 Sunday:  Everybody's at the church,
 When Horace rushes in and says  "Now here comes my  wife,
 For the rest of my life"  and she did
 Don't be afraid,  just knock on the door,
 Well he  just stood there mumblin'  and fumblin'
 Then a voice from above  said
"Horace  Wimp, this is  your wife,
 Go on  and find yourself  a life
Make  a stand and be  a man,
 And you  will have a great  life plan"
 You can do  it
 Come on Horace
