That sun is hot and that old clock is movin' 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 like to call him something, 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 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 phones for me you can tell them 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.

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
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

What time zone am I on? What country am I in? It don't matter it's five o'clock somewhere It's always on five in Margaritaville come to think of it I heard that You've been there haven't you? Yes sir I've seen your boat there I've been to Margaritaville a few times Alright well, that's good Stumbled my way back Okay, we just want to make sure you can keep it Between the navigational beacons Between the buoys, I got it Alright well, it's five o'clock let's go somewhere I'm ready to crank it up Let's get out of here I'm gone...
