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
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 all right I ain't had a day off now in over a year My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here If the phone's for me you can tell them I just sailed away
And 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
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
I'd say 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
