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

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be shown

I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays

I wanna shoot the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean

And it types to a waiting world

Her 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

Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat

They can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons

What reasons do you need oh oh oh oh

I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays

I wanna shoot 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 the toys a while

And school's out early and soon we be learning

And the lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles

With the problems and the hows and whys

And he can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to die die oh oh oh

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

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be shown

I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays

I don't like

I don't like

I don't like Mondays

I don't like

I don't like

I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays

I wanna shoot the whole day down
