Verse 1
The sun is hot and that old
clock is movin' slow and so am I
Workday passes like molasses 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 12 but I
don't care
N.C. D G A D
It's five o'clock somewhere
Verse 2
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
Chorus
And pour me something 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

Bridge
I could pay off my tab
G*
pour myself in a cab
and be back to work before 2
At a moment like this
G*
I can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
(Funny you should ask, Alan)
Chorus
I'd say pour me something tall
and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go
insane
It's only half past 12 but I
don't care
Pour me something tall and
strong
Make it a hurricane before I go
insane
It's only half past 12 but I
don't care, I don't care
N.C. D G A D
It's five o'clock somewhere
