Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun is hot and that ole clock is moving 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 but 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 twelve, but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
[Verse 2]
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 alright
I 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 twelve, but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
[Bridge]
I could pay off my tab
Pour myself in a cab and be back to work before two
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffet do?
[Chorus]
Funny you should ask, Alan
I'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
[Chorus]
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
He don't care and I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
