The sun is hot and
that old clock
is movin' slow
And so am I
The workday passes
like molasses
in wintertime
But it's July
I'm gettin' paid by
the hour and older
by the minute
My boss just pushed
me over the limit
I'd like to
call it somethin'
I think I'll just
call it a day
Pour me somethin'
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
and half the night
Tomorrow morning I
know there'll be hell
to pay
Hey, but that's alright
I ain't had a day off now
in over a year
My Jamican vacation's
gonna start right here
Get the phones for me
You can tell 'em
I just sailed away
Pour me somethin'
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
Put 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 Buffet do?
I'd say
pour me somethin'
tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
before I go insane
It's only
half past twelve
but I don't care
Pour me somethin'
tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
before I go insane
It's only half past twelve
but I don't care
And I don't care
It's five o'clock
somewhere
