The Very Best Of

The sun is hot and that old clock is movin´ slow,
An´ so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it´s July.
I´m gettin´ paid by the hour, an´ older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I´d like to call him somethin´,
I think I´ll just call it a day.


Pour me somethin´ tall an´ 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.


Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
An´ half the night.
Tomorrow mornin´, 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.
Our Jamaican vacation´s 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.
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,
An´ be back to work before two.
At a moment like this, I can´t help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffet do?


Funny you should ask that because I´d say:
Pour me somethin´ tall an´ strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It´s only half-past twelve but I don´t care.


Pour me somethin´ tall an´ strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It´s only half-past twelve but I don´t care.
He don´t care.
I don´t care.
It´s five o´clock somewhere.


What time zone am on? What country am I in?
It doesn´t matter, it´s five o´clock somewhere.
It´s always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it.
Yeah, I heard that.
You been there haven´t you.
Yessir.
I seen your boat there.
I´ve been to Margaritaville a few times.
All right, that´s good.
Stumbled all the way back.
OK. Just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons.
Bring the booze, I tell you.
All right. Well, it´s five o´clock. Let´s go somewhere.
I´m ready, crank it up.
Let´s get out of here.
I´m gone.
Let´s get out of here.
