I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS - THE BOONTOWN RATS

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
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 reasons do you need to be showed?

Tell me why
I dont like mondays
Tell me why
I dont like mondays
Tell me why
I dont 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 it peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need?

Tell me why?
I dont like mondays
Tell me why?
I dont like mondays
Tell me why?
I dont like mondays
I want to 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 her 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 and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?

Tell me why?
I dont like mondays
Tell me why?
I dont like mondays
Tell me why?
I don't like
I don't like
I dont like mondays
Tell me why?
I dont like
I don't like
I don't like mondays
Tell me why?
I dont like mondays
I want to shoot...
The whole day down
