[Verse]
The sun is hot, and that old clock is moving slow.
*
And so am I
The work day passes slower than molasses in wintertime
*
But it’s July
I’m getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
The boss just pushed me over the limit
I’d like to call him something
I think I’ll just call it a day
[Chorus] (x2)
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 going to take all afternoon
*
And half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay
*
Hey but that’s all right
I haven’t had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation starts right here
If the phones for me
You can tell them I just sailed away
[Bridge]
I could pay up 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. (I think he d say....)
[Chorus]
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 going to take all afternoon
*
And half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay
*
Hey but that’s all right
I haven’t had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation starts right here
If the phones for me
You can tell them I just sailed away
The sun is hot, and that old clock is moving slow.
*
And so am I
The work day passes slower than molasses in wintertime
*
But it’s July
I’m getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
