1960 (33rd Annual Awards, 27th Best Song)
Best Song Lyric


Never on Sunday
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday, a Monday, a Monday is very, very good.
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday, a Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would.
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday, a Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best.
But never, never on a Sunday, a Sunday, a Sunday, ’Cause that’s my day of rest.

Most any rest day you can be my guest,
Any day you say, but my day of rest.
Just name the day that you like the best,
Only stay away on my day of rest.

Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day, a wet day, whichever one you choose.
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day, a pay day, and see if I refuse.
And if you make it on a bleak day, a freak day, a weekday, why you can be my guest.
But never, never on a Sunday, a Sunday, a Sunday, the one day I need a little rest.

Most any rest day you can be my guest,
Any day you say, but my day of rest.
Just name the day that you like the best,
Only stay away on my day of rest.
