Lyrics:

The silicon chipinside her head Gets switched to overload And nobody's gonna go to school today She's going to make them stay at home And daddy doesn't understand it He always said she was as good as gold And he can see no reason Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown Tell me why I don't like Mondays...I want to shoot Ooooooh The whole da ydown The Telex machine is kept so clean As it types to a waiting world And Mother feels so shocked Father's world is rocked And their thoughts turn to Their own little girl Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat They can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown Tell me why I don't like Mondays...I want to shoot Ooooooh The whole day down And all the playing's stopped in the playground now She wants to play with her toys a while And school's out early and soon we'll be learning And the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles And the captain crackles With the problems and the how's and why's And he can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to die The silicon chip inside her head...Tell me why I don't like Mondays...I want to shoot Ooooooh The whole day down

Boomtown Rats I Don't Like Mondays
