The Sun is hot and that old clock
Is movin' slow, and 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 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
Oh, 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 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 them I just sailed away
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
It's five o'clock somewhere
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 Buffet do?
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, 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?
Yes, Sir
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
