The sun is hot and that ole clock is moving slow and so am i
The work day passes like molassas in wintertime, but it`s July
I`m getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I`d like to call him something, I think I`ll just call it a day
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 gonna take all afternoon and half the night
Tomorrow morning I know they`ll be hell to pay, hey but that`s all right
I haven`t had a day off now in over a year
My Jamacian vacation`s gonna start right here
If the phone`s for me, you can tell them I just selled away
CHORUS
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?
Jimmy: 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
(twice)
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
Alan: I`ve been to Margaritaville a few times
Jimmy: All right. -
