[Alan:]
The sun is hot and that old clock,
is movin' slow, and so am I
Work day passes like molasses,
in winter time, but it's July
Getting paid by the hour,
and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me,
over the limit
I could call him something,
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
This lunch break is gonna take
all afternoon, half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there'll be hell to pay,
but, hey, 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
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
[Instrumental]
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
[Jimmy:]
Funny you should ask Alan, 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
[Together:]
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
[Alan:]
but he don't care, I don't care
Together
It's five o'clock somewhere
[Talking:]
[Jimmy:] What time zone am I on? What country am I in?
[Alan:] It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere!
[Jimmy:] It's always on time for Margaritaville, come to think of it
[Alan:] I heard that
[Jimmy:] You've been there haven't ya?
[Alan:] Yes sir!
[Jimmy:] I've seen your boat there
[Alan:] I've been to Margaritaville a few times
[Jimmy:] Alright, that's good
[Alan:] Stumbled on my way back
[Jimmy:] OK, well I just want to make sure you keep it between the navigational beacons
[Alan:] hahaha! Keep it between the bouys I got it!
[Jimmy:] Alright, well it's five o'clock Let's go somewhere!
[Alan:] I'm ready Crank it up!
[Jimmy:] Let's get out of here!
[Alan:] I'm gone!
