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 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 want to shoot 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. No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need, oh, ohoho
(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 it all down
And now 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 'cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, ohoho
(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.
