The sun is hot
And that old clock
is movin' slow
And so am I
The workday passes
like molasses
in winter time
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 him 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 mornin' I know
They'll be h*** 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
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
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 Buffet 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 somethin'
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
And I don't care
It's five o'clock
Somewhere
