I Don’t Like Mondays

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] (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 shoot, ooh The whole day down [Verse 2] 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 Now that ain't so neat to admit defeat They can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need? Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa [Chorus] (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 shoot, ooh The whole day down Down, down, shoot it all down [Verse 3] 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'll be learning And the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles With the problems of the hows and whys And he can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to die? Die, oh [Verse 1] And the silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload Oh, 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? [Chorus] (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like, I don't like (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I wanna shoot, ooh The whole day down [Outro] Ooh, ooh, ooh
