Are you referring to "saturday, what a day"
and that you think that it is not part of the rest of the week in relation to how the other days are described?

He is.
Prove him wrong, Mr QC.

I would be interested to see Acid Kewpie's reasoning,
but my learned friend Mr AaaaaaaaaarrrdvaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAARK! may have a case.

The phrase 'Rockin' all week with you' makes it hard for one to believe that Saturday is not one of the days of the 'Rockin-week'.

However, this is not what Acid Kewpie is challenging, but rather that the Saturday is not explicitly described as a happy day.

As it is a civil matter it does not have to be proven 'beyond all reasonable doubt', but rather 'on the balance of probabilities'. The representation is that Saturday (while being described as 'what a day') belongs to the rest of the week as a 'Happy' day.
We would have to look at the deeper meaning and the intention of the author's statement: would it be his intention to identify every day except saturday as 'happy', while labelling every day as 'Rocking', also?

On the balance of probabilities, it would be hard to maintain that the author intended to single it out as not a 'happy day'. Mr Aardvark's case is a strong one.

obiter: in considering the construction of the verse, it is the opinion of this commentator that to explicitly label saturday as a 'happy day', after listing all the others would greatly disturb the flow of the verse. It is the belief that the songwriter abridged the 'saturday' line, on the (evidently unsafe) belief that nobody would misinterpret it as not a 'happy' day

Well i was not referring to the situation being a civil issue
Clearly this is a most serious issue, and the full weight of criminal law should be behind it.

I know well that should this end up in small claims court that the judge would say "pfft, don't be daft" but a judge with a proper dusty wig would have different aspects to think about.

You'd still need to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that it wasn't meant in that way.
If anything, your case would be worse.
