the silicon chip inside her head

gets switched to overload

and nobody's gonna go to school today

she's going to make them stay at home

and daddy doesn't understand it

he always said she was as good as gold

and he can see no reasons

cause there are no reasons

what reason do you need to be shown

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like mondays

i want to shoot

the whole day down

the tele machine is kept so clean

as it types to a waiting world

and mother feels so shocked

father's world is rocked

and their thoughts turn to

their own little girl

sweet si teen ain't so peachy keen

no it ain't so neat to admit defeat

they can see no reasons

cause there are no reasons

what reason do you need

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like mondays

i want to shoot

the whole day down down down

shoot it all down

all the playing's stopped

in the playground now

she wants to play with her toys a while

and school's out early and

soon we'll be learning

and the lesson today is how to die

and then the bullhorn crackles

and the captain tackles

with the problems

and the hows and whys

and he can see no reasons

cause there are no reasons

what reason do you need to die

the silicon chip inside her head

gets switched to overload

and nobody's gonna go to school today

she's going to make them stay at home

and daddy doesn't understand it

he always said she was as good as gold

and he can see no reasons

cause there are no reasons

what reason do you need to be shown

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like i don't like

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like i don't like

tell me why

i don't like mondays

tell me why

i don't like mondays

i wanna shoot

the whole day down
