The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow and so am I
D A Bm A D
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime but it's July

My boss just pushed me over the limit
G
I'd like to call him something
D A
I think I'll just call it a day
[Chorus]
D G
Pour me something tall and strong
A D
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
D G A
It's only half past 12 but I don't care
N.C. D G A D
It's five o'clock somewhere

Well, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon and half the night

Tomorrow mornin' I know there'll be hell to pay, hey, but that's alright

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've just sailed away

I could pay off my tab

I can't help but wonder
Em A
What would Jimmy Buffett do?

Make it a hurricane before I go insane

It's only half past 12 but I don't care

Make it a hurricane before I go insane
