[Intro]
Jumping music, slick deejays
Fog machines and laser rays
Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)

Jumping music, slick deejays
Fog machines and laser rays
Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)

[Verse 1]
I work hard, everyday
Its all work and no play
With the boss on my back
He don't give me any slack
I sit down, I daydream
Of how my weekend's gonna be

[Chorus]
Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)
Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)

[Verse 2]
By the time Wednesday comes
I feel the beat and I wanna have fun (fun, fun)

[Chorus]
Lookout weekend cause
Because weekends were

[Verse 3]
All you ladies, clap your hands
Stomp your feet and grab your man (man, man)

[Chorus]
Lookout weekend cause, here I come
Because weekends were, made for fun (fun, fun)

[Verse 4]
Okay men, its your time
Show the ladies what's on your mind (minds)

[Chorus]
Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)

[Intro Reprise]
Jumping music, slick deejays
Fog machines and laser rays
Lookout weekend cause

[Verse 1 Reprise]
I work hard everyday
Its all work and no play
With the boss on my back
He don't give me any slack
I sit down I daydream
Of how my weekend's gonna be

[Chorus]
Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)

Lookout weekend cause (here I come)
Because weekends were (made for fun)

Janet Jackson

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
