The sun is hot and that ol' clock is movin' slow and

So am I

Workday passes like molasses in wintertime

But it's July

Gettin' paid by the hour and older by the 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

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

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

My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here

If the phones for me you can tell 'em I've 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 2

At a moment like this I can't help but wonder

What would Jimmy Buffett 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 and I don't care

It's five o'clock somewhere
