: I learned a little song as a child that began
: Monday's child is fair of face
: Tuesday's child is full of grace

: I can't remember the rest.

I can.
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good and gay.
