GUEST,James	Origins: Today Is Monday (71* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Today Is Monday	07 Oct 11
My mother taught me this song, which she may have learned in her childhood as a child of the Great Depression. Her verse pattern was: Today is Monday. Today is Monday. Monday wash day, Is everybody happy? Well I should say! And each verse repeated the things from the previous days as in other entries in the thread. Her verses, I believe, were: Monday wash day, Tuesday ironing, Wednesday soup, (or perhaps "shopping" [grocery]) Thursday roast beef, Friday fish, Saturday pay day, and Sunday church.
