Days of the Week Song

"Yesterday was Thursday
Today is Friday
[...]
Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards"

—Rebecca Black, "Friday"

A List Song (or poem) that lists the days of the week. Typically, it'll list all seven of them, saying a little something about each of them.

Examples of Days of the Week Song include:

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace...
