That sun is hot and that old clock is moving slow
And so am I
The 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 love to call him something, but I think I´ll just call it a day

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

Well this lunchbreak is gonna take all afternoon
And half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there´ll be hell to pay
Hey, but that´s alright
I ain´t had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation´s gonna start right here
If the phone is for me you can tell ´em I just sailed away

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

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab
And be back to work before two
But at a moment like this I can´t help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do

He´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
It´s five o´clock somewhere
