The sun is hot
And that old clock is movin' slow
And so am I
Workday passes like molasses in the wintertime, yeah, but it's July
Gettin' paid by the hour, and older by the minute
Boss just put me over a limit
I'd love to call him somethin'
But 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 12, but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
It's five o'clock in the urban stands, right?
… Well, this lunch break
It's gonna take all afternoon and half the night
Tomorrow I know that there will be hell to pay
Hey, but that's all right
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
… Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past 12, but I don't care
Hello cowgirl
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, you can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
I'd go to Wrigley and buy you all a drink
… Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past 12, but I don't care
Mitchell the cubby bear
Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane (here we go to sweater)
It's only half past 12, but I don't care
The wonder bar
Oh, I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
