Fine On A Friday

"Fine On A Friday"

Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.

Don't know what she's like outside of work

Does she live alone or does she have a man?

I barely notice her 'til the weekend comes

But then I wonder what she's got planned


She always looks so fine on a Friday

My imagination's overbooked

She always looks so fine on a Friday

Her casual look has got me hooked


Our relationship is strictly business

But sometimes I wish it were more

One day a week, I can't help sneakin' a peek

When she's walkin' out the office door


She always looks so fine on a Friday

My imagination's overbooked

She always looks so fine on a Friday

Her casual look has got me hooked


Has she noticed me? I could ask her out and see

It's hard to say what she would think

Deep down I know it would be a mistake

To dip my pen in the company ink, wink, wink


She always looks so fine on a Friday

My imagination's overbooked

She always looks so fine on a Friday

Her casual look has got me hooked, that's all it took


She always looks so fine on a Friday

Can't get any work done on this team

She always looks so fine on a Friday

Her tight jeans make me have daydreams

Is she everything she seems?

There are workplaces in America, probably elsewhere, in which the required clothing started changing in the 90s.Β  This concept of "business casual" became commonplace in corporate office environments, and it evolved further to include "casual Friday," a day in which you were permitted to dress down and be a little more casual than M-Th.Β  One way this was interpreted in practice was that people would wear jeans on Fridays, whereas from Monday through Thursday, they would not.Β Β 

As a "casual" observer of this cultural phenomenon, I learned that many women in these environments who would otherwise appear serious and boring and even stuffy or nerdy during the week would all of a sudden look pretty sexy on Fridays, highlighted by the wearing of tight jeans.Β  It made you take notice of them, when otherwise you wouldn't.Β  Upon taking notice, you'd then think of them in a different way, where instead of being just a professional business woman, you thought of them as potentially being someone who liked to have fun outside the workplace, perhaps even having a wild side.Β Β 

This would then make you wonder what kind of things they had planned for that Friday after work, and what kind of things they got into doing in their free time.Β  The fantasizing might take off from there.Β  That's what this song is all about, and that's what I was thinking about when I wrote it.
