The sun is hot and that old clock is movin slow,
An so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But its July.
Im gettin paid by the hour, an older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
Id like to call him somethin,
I think Ill just call it a day.
Pour me somethin tall an strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
Its only half-past twelve but I dont care.
Its five oclock somewhere.
Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
An half the night.
Tomorrow mornin, I know therell be hell to pay,
Hey, but thats all right.
I aint had a day off now in over a year.
Our Jamaican vacations gonna start right here.
Hit the phones for me,
You can tell em I just sailed away.
An pour me somethin tall an strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
Its only half-past twelve but I dont care.
Its five oclock somewhere.
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab,
An be back to work before two.
At a moment like this, I cant help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffet do?
Funny you should ask that because Id say:
Pour me somethin tall an strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
Its only half-past twelve but I dont care.
Pour me somethin tall an strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
Its only half-past twelve but I dont care.
He dont care.
I dont care.
Its five oclock somewhere.
What time zone am on? What country am I in?
It doesnt matter, its five oclock somewhere.

Yes sir.

Stumbled all the way back.

Bring the booze, I tell you.
All right. Well, its five oclock. Lets go somewhere.
Im ready, crank it up.
Lets get out of here.
