[The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays lyrics]
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?
Oh oh 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 ooh, 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
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 oh oh whoa whoa
(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
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 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 oh oh
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?
Oh oh oh
(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
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
