The version I know is rather similar to the anonymous Guest shortly above me: learned from the Hash House Harriers. I had never heard of it having a tune. (Ya learn somethin' new ever' day.) We do it as a chant, call and response form, with each verse having it's characteristic, uh, motion/gesture.
Final verse:
[quietly] Today is Sunday [fold hands in prayer] Today is Sunday Sunday is a day of rest Sunday is a day of rest but ... [loudly again] Saturday's a Hashin' day [running in place] Saturday's a Hashin' day Friday is a f**king day [I'm sure you can imagine the 'motions' that go with this one] Friday is a f**king day Thursday is a drinkin' day [take a swig of beer, causing a slight pause in the song] Thursday is a drinkin' day Wednesday is a hummmmmm day [during the word "hum", hold two fingers vertically, spread slightly, over your lips] Wednesday is a hummmmmm day [Some women respond to this and to every succeeding line with "EVERY day is Wednesday!"] Tuesday is two-finger day [demonstrate what you might do with those two fingers] Tuesday is two-finger day [ The ruder of the Hashers will respond, especially during the later verses, that "Tuesday is a fistin' day"] And Monday is a wankin' day [for the Americans who might not know this British slang, it refers to male auto-eroticism; the motion should be obvious] Monday is a wankin' day IS EVERYBODY HAPPY? YOU BETCHER @$$ WE ARE! [ALL] Toodle-ee doot-d'-doot-d'-doot Toodle-ee doot-d'-doot-d'-doot [Everyone puts one finger on the very top of their head and twirls slowly once; imitate a music-box ballerina]
