THE WORK DAY PASSES LIKE MOLASSES IN WINTER TIME- BUT ITS 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
IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE.
INTRO 5 unusual Bars
WELL THIS LUNCH BREAK IS GONNA TAKE ALL AFTERNOON AND HALF THE NIGHT.
TOMORROW MORNING I KNOW THER'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 IS GONNA START RIGHT HERE.
IF THE PHONES FOR ME YOU CAN TELL THEM I JUST SAILED AWAY.
CHORUS
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 BUFFETT
DO?
(JIMMY SPEAKING) FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK THAT ALAN. I'D SAY.
