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 reason 'cause there are no reason
What reason did you need to be shown?
[Verse 2]
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot 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 her toys awhile
And school's out early and soon we'll be learnin'
The lesson today is how to die
[Verse 4]
And then the bullhorn cackles and the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reason 'cause there are no reason
What reason do you need to die?
Die, oh
[Verse 5]
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondays
Ooh, I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole, the whole day down
Whole day, whole day
The whole day
Down
