That sun is hot and that ol' clock is movin' slow
And so am I
The workday passes like molasses 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:
(And) 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
(AJ: he don't care, and I don't care)
It's five o'clock somewhere.

--- Instrumental ---

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 alright
I ain't had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here
If the phone's for me you can tell 'em
I just sailed away.

Chorus:
(And) 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
(AJ: he don't care, and I don't care)
It's five o'clock somewhere.

--- Instrumental ---

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?

(enter Jimmy Buffett)

J.B.''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 something 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
