The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,
|
An' so am I.
|
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
|
But it's July.
|
I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' 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 an' 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.
|
|
Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
|
An' half the night.
|
Tomorrow mornin', I know there'll be hell to pay,
|
Hey, but that's all right.
|
I ain't had a day off now in over a year.
|
Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here.
|
Hit the 'phones for me,
|
You can tell 'em I just sailed away.
|
|
An' pour me somethin' tall an' 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,
|
An' 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 that because I'd say:
|
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
|
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
|
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
|
|
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
|
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
|
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
|
He don't care.
|
I don't care.
|
It's five o'clock somewhere.
|
|
What time zone am on? What country am I in?
|
It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere.
|
It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it.
|
Yeah, I heard that.
|
You been there haven't you.
|
Yessir.
|
I seen your boat there.
|
I've been to Margaritaville a few times.
|
All right, that's good.
|
Stumbled all the way back.
|
OK. Just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons.
|
Bring the booze, I tell you.
|
All right. Well, it's five o'clock. Let's go somewhere.
|
I'm ready, crank it up.
|
Let's get out of here.
|
I'm gone.
|
Let's get out of here.
