I Don't Like Mondays

The silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload 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? 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 the whole day down The Telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting world And Mama feels so shocked, Father's world is rocked When their thoughts turn to their own little girl Sweet sixteen, and she's peachy keen And it ain't so neat to admit defeat But there can be no reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need? Oh 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 the whole day down, down, down I'll 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 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, die? Oh 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? 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 the whole day down Ooh, ooh, ooh
