The sun is hot and that ol` clock is movin` slow
And so am I
Workday passes like molassas in wintertime
But it`s July
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`
But think I`ll just call it a day
Chorus:
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
Well 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 all right
Ain`t had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation is gonna start right here
If the phones for me
You can tell `em I`ve just sailed away
Chorus:
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 2
At a moment like this, I can`t help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
Jimmy Buffett spoken:
Funny you should ask, Alan
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
He don`t care
And I don`t care
It`s five o`clock somewhere
Alan: He don`t care
I don`t care
Together: It`s five o`clock somewhere
Jimmy: What time zone am I on?
What country am I in?
Alan: It doesn`t matter
It`s five o`clock somewhere
Jimmy: It`s always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it
Alan: I heard that
Jimmy: You`ve been there haven`t you?
Alan: Yes, Sir
Jimmy: I`ve seen your boat there
Jimmy: All right.
That`s good
Alan: Stumbled my way back
Jimmy: OK Just want to make sure you can keep it between the
navigational beacons
Alan: Between the bouys.
I got it
Jimmy: All right.
It`s five o`clock.
Let`s go somewhere
Alan: I`m ready.
Crank it up
Jimmy: Let`s get out of here
Alan: I`m gone
