  • Don't let a lonely Monday come again...

    Will you be staying after Sunday? Or go home on Monday?
    Will you be staying after Sunday or go home?

    Your lips are warm on Friday night
    The next two days you hold me tight
    But when it's done you always go and I'm alone

    Will you be staying after Sunday? Or go home on Monday?
    I'll keep waiting for that one day
    You'll be mine

    I'd give the world to keep you here
    Why do you need to disappear
    And When I press you do your best
    To stall for time

    I wouldn't try to own your soul
    You can be free
    I only want you here each night
    Loving me

    Will you be staying after Sunday? Or go home on Monday?
    We gotta let this feeling grow
    Or Let it end

    You say you care
    Well if you do
    Don't ever go
    I'm begging you

    Don't let a lonely Monday come again...

    Will you be staying after Sunday? Or go home on Monday?
    (Repeat last line 4x)

  • Dan Dinardo (a/k/a/ Art Robinson) from Lower Merion PaI 1st heard "Will You Be Staying..." while I was in college; the Top 40 Stations in Philly played it lots.
    I never understood why it didn't go higher on the charts.
    From '78-'82 it was always the last song (ending theme) on my Sunday night oldies show in Wilmington DE, WAMS 1380.
  • David from Vancouver, B.c. CanadaI am surprised this was a bigger hit than #32 on the Billboard charts. It sounds like a Top 10 hit to me, with its infectious, upbeat "sunshine pop" melody and harmonies. Yes, I hear Spanky and Our Gang when I listen to it, but it should have charted much higher, regardless of artist.

    Same with "She" by Tommy James and the Shondells (#23). I am not sure what we were thinking in 1969!
  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaBarry, didn't they also record Back On The Street Again (Remembering when)?
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn July 19, 1969, Peppermint Rainbow performed "Don't Wake Me Up in the Morning, Michael" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV network Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at #60 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; the following week it would peak at #54 {for 2 weeks} and it spent 9 weeks on the Top 100.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn January 12th 1969* "Will You Be Staying After Sunday?" by the Peppermint Rainbow entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #96; and eleven weeks later on April 27th, 1969 it peaked at #32 {for 2 weeks} and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100...
    The Baltimore, MD quintet had one other Top 100 record, "Don't Wake Me in the Morning, Michael"; it reached #54 and stayed on the chart for 9 weeks...
    * On January 12th, 1969 the song was one of nineteen records that entered the Top 100 on that day.
  • Don from Willoughby, OhHas anyone noticed that this sounds like Sunday Will Never Be The Same by Spanky & Our Gang?.
    Sunday Will Never Be The Same was first offered to the Mamas and Papas but was turned down because But John Philips, is doing mostly his own songs at that time.
    One can't help but wonder how much Mama Cass had to do with this song.
  • Scott from Portland, OrWhat a lovely slice of Sunshine Pop. So glad to hear Bonnie went on to much success in the health care field. I hope she still sings--even to a grand baby or two!
  • Glenn from Simi Valley, CaThe group formed in 1967 as the New York Times and split up in 1970. They had another minor hit in 1969, "Don't Wake Me Up in the Morning, Michael, which got to number #54. They were discovered by Mama Cass. Their lead singer, Bonnie Lambdin Phipps, is now President and CEO of St. Agnes Medical in Baltimore.
