The sun is hot and that ole clock is moving slow and so am i
The work day passes like molassas 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
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
It's five o'clock somewhere
This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon and half the night
Tomorrow morning I know they'll be hell to pay, hey but that's all right
I haven't had a day off now in over a year
My Jamacian vacation's gonna start right here
If the phone's for me, you can tell them I just selled away
CHORUS
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?
Jimmy: 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
(twice)
Alan: He don't care
I don't care
Together: It's five o'clock somewhere
Jimmy: What time zone am I on?
What country am I in?
Alan: It doesn't matter.
It's five o'clock somewhere
Jimmy: It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it
