I Don't Like Mondays

The silicon chip inside her head

Gets switched to overload

And nobody's gonna go to school today,

She's gonna make them stay at home,

And daddy doesn't understand it,

He always said she was good as gold,

And he can see no reasons

Cos there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why I don't like mondays,

Tell me why I don't like mondays,

Tell me why I don't like mondays,

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot

The whole day down.

The Telex machine is kept so clean

And it types to a waiting world,

And Mother feels so shocked

Father's world is rocked,

And their thoughts turn to

Their own little girl.

Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,

No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,

They can see no reasons

Cos there are no reasons

What reasons do you need

Tell me why I don't like mondays

Tell me why I don't like mondays

Tell me why I don't like mondays

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot

The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down...

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now

She wants to play with her toys a while,

And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

And the lesson today is how to die.

Am

And then the bullhorn crackles,

And the captain tackles,

With the problems and the how's and why's

And he can see no reasons

Cos there are no reasons

what reason do you need to die

Tell me why I don't like mondays

Tell me why I don't like mondays

Tell me why I don't like mondays

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot

The whole day down.
