The sun is hot
and that old clock
is movin' slow
and so am I
Workday passes
like molasses
in wintertime
but it's July
Getting paid by the hour
and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me
over the limit
I'd like to
call him somethin'
I think I'll just
call it a day
Pour me something
tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
before I go insane
It's only half past twelve
but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
This lunch break
is gonna take
all afternoon
half the night
Tomorrow mornin' I know
there'll be hell to pay
hey but that's all right
I ain't had a day off now
in over a year
My Jamaican vacation's
gonna start right here
If the phone's for me
you can tell them
I just sailed away
And pour me something
tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
before I go insane
It's only half past twelve
but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
I could pay off my tab
pour myself in a cab
And be back to work
before two
At a moment like this
I can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
Funny you should ask Alan
I'd say. . pour me something
tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
before I go insane
It's only half past twelve
but I don't care
Pour. . . me something
tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
before I go insane
It's only half past twelve
but I don't care
He don't care
An' I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
What time zone am I on
what country am I in
It doesn't matter
it's five o'clock somewhere
It's always on five
at Margaritaville
come to think of it
I heard that
You've been there haven't you
Yes sir
I've seen your boat there
I've been to Margaritaville
a few times
All right well that's good
Stumbled my way back
OK we just wanna make sure
you can keep it
Between the
navigational beacons
Ha ha ha ha
between the buoys I got it
Alright well it's five o'clock
let's go somewhere
I'm ready crank it up
Let's get outta here
I'm gone
