(Alan)
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow, and so am I
The workday passes like molasses in wintertime, but it's July
I'm gettin' paid by the hour and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call him somethin', I think I'll just call it a day
Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon, half the night
Tomorrow morning I know they'll be hell to pay, hey, but that's alright
I ain't had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here
If the phone's for me you can tell 'em I just sailed away
And pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
-- Instrumental --
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab
And be back to work before two
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
(Jimmy, Spoken)
Funny you should ask Alan, I'd say...
(Sung)
Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
(Jimmy and Alan together)
Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care (repeat)
Alan Jackson: He don't care... and I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
(Jimmy)
What time zone am I on? What country am I in?
(Alan)
It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere
(Jimmy)
It's always on 5 in Margaritaville come to think of it
(Alan)

(Jimmy)

(Alan)

(Alan)

(Jimmy)
Alright, well that's good.
(Alan)
I'm on my way back.
(Jimmy)
Well alright, I just wanna make sure you can keep it
Between the navigational beacons.
Alright, well it's five o'clock, let's go somewhere.
(Alan)

(Jimmy)
Let's get outta here
(Alan)
