I Don't Like Mondays

The Boomtown Rats

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 as good as gold,

And he can see no reason.

Cos there are no reasons.

What reason do you need to be shown.



Tell me why.

I Dont't like Mondays.



Tell me why



I don't like Mondays



tell me why



I dont like Mondays

I want to shoot.

The whole day down.



The Telex machine is kept so clean.

As 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.

Cos there are no reasons.

What reason do you need to be shown Oh, woaah



(repeat chorus)



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

Cos there are no reasons

What reason do you need to die



Tell me why.

I Dont't like Mondays.

Tell me why



I don't like Mondays



tell me why



I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondays



tell me why



I don't like, I don't like , I don't like Mondays



I want to shoot, the whole day down
