It's 5 o'clock Somewhere
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 a 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 alright
Ain't had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation is gonna start right here
If the phone's 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 Buffet do?
Jimmy Buffet 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
