Intro 
 
The (D) sun is hot and (A7) that old clock is (D) moving slow 
And, (A7) so am I 
The (D) work day passes (A7) like molasses, in (Bm) wintertime 
But, (A7) it's Ju(D)ly 
Gettin (G) paid by the hour 
And (D) older by the minute 
(A7) Boss just pushed me (D) over the limit 
Like to (G) call him something 
(D) Think I'll just call it a (A7) day 
 
(D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong 
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane 
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care 
(No chord) It's 5 o'clock, (D) somewhere 
 
(D) (G) (A7) (D) 
 
Well, (D) this lunch break is (A7) gonna take all (D) afternoon 
And (A7) half the night 
To(D)morrow morning, (A7) I know there'll be (Bm) hell to pay 
Hey but, (A7) that's al(D)right 
Ain't (G) had a day off now  
In (D) over a year 
My (A7) Jamaican vacation's 
Gonna (D) start right here 
If the (G) phone's for me 
You can (D) tell them I've just sailed a(A7)way 
 
(D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong 
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane 
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care 
It's 5 o'clock, (D) somewhere 
 
Solo 
 
I could (Bm) pay off my tab 
Pour my(Bm/A)self in cab and be (G) back to (A) work before (D) 2 
At a (Bm) moment like this 
I (Bm/A) can't help but wonder 
(Em) What would Jimmy Buffett (A7) do 
 
I'd say - (D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong 
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane 
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care 
 
(D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong 
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane 
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care 
(G) I don't care 
(No chord) It's 5 o'clock, (D) somewhere 
 
Ad lib and fade out
