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 as good as gold,
And he can see [ no reason ]
Cos there are [ no reason ]
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 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 reason ]
Cos there are [ no reason ]
What reason do you need
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 want to shoot
The whole day down down down
Shoot 'em all down

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 crackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see [ no reason ]
Cos there are [ no reason ]
What reason do you need to die die
[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 want to shoot
The whole
day
down
