Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

… The sun is hotAnd that old clock is movin’ slowAnd so am IWorkday passes like molasses in the wintertime, yeah, but it’s JulyGettin’ paid by the hour, and older by the minuteBoss just put me over a limitI’d love to call him somethin’But I think I’ll just call it a day

… Pour me somethin’ tall and strongMake it a hurricane before I go insaneIt’s only half past 12, but I don’t careIt’s five o’clock somewhereIt’s five o’clock in the urban stands, right?

… Well, this lunch breakIt’s gonna take all afternoon and half the nightTomorrow I know that there will be hell to payHey, but that’s all rightI ain’t had a day off now in over a yearMy Jamaican vacation’s gonna start right hereIf the phone’s for meYou can tell ’em I just sailed away

… Pour me somethin’ tall and strongMake it a hurricane before I go insaneIt’s only half past 12, but I don’t careHello cowgirlIt’s five o’clock somewhere

… I could pay off my tabPour myself in a cabAnd be back to work before twoAt a moment like this, you can’t help but wonderWhat would Jimmy Buffett do?I’d go to Wrigley and buy you all a drink

… Pour me somethin’ tall and strongMake it a hurricane before I go insaneIt’s only half past 12, but I don’t careMitchell the cubby bearPour me somethin’ tall and strongMake it a hurricane before I go insane (here we go to sweater)It’s only half past 12, but I don’t careThe wonder barOh, I don’t careIt’s five o’clock somewhere

… I guess we get it all spars picked out

… Thank you, Alan JacksonThis is, this is too muchThat’s all I got to sayFor all of you ladies and gentlemenWho wore your grass skirt to this event this eveningThis song is for youWe’re going to the south pacific for a few minutes
