I don't like Mondays

Follow link to YouTube recording.

The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload

And nobody's gonna go to school today

She's going to 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?

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 want to shoot 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 16 ain't that peachy keen

No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat

They can see no reasons 'cause 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 want to shoot the whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down

And all the playing has stopped in the playground now

She wants to play with the toys of war

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

That the lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles

And the captain cackles 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?

And the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload

And nobody's gonna go to school today

She's going to make them stay at home

Her 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?

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 want to shoot the whole day down
