The silicon chip inside her head, Got switched to overload 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
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x) I want to shoot the whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting world, Her mother feels so shocked Father's world is rocked And their thoughts turned to their own little girl Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen, And it ain't so neat to admit defeat, There could be (no reasons) Because there are ( no reasons) What reasons do you need, oh,
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x) I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down I'll shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now She wants to play with her toys a while And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that 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 reasons do you need to die, die, oh
The silicon chip inside her head, Gets switched to overload 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
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (2x) (Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like (Tell me why)
You`re a lotta laughs ain`t you babe You cracked me up, I laughed so much I nearly died It`s so funny I was weeping Cried so hard, I nearly split my side I watched you laughing on the TV I don`t get it said the kindly host But there are many here among us Who feel the sight is but a joke Your imagination`s running riot Sometimes I swear you believe what you say No-one seems to notice it`s the same joke It`s just told in a thousand different ways And I can`t wait to read the new ones Yeah the comedy just gets better every day You`re a lotta laughs ain`t you babe It`s funny how it all turned out that way Ooh, you should have known better You should have known better, a-ha-ha It`s not for you, this one`s for me It`s not for you, this one`s for me I saw a picture of you grinning Yeah that smirk covered your entire face It almost split your head in two I hear you sold it to OK Sell a photo of you laughing The more you hoot the more they pay You don`t even need to get your clothes off anymore You`re a bit too old for that stuff anyway Somebody saw you at the party You did the one where you`re falling flat on your face You had the whole place cracking up in stitches Apparently you fall with such good grace And the teenage clothes and see-through sizes The mutton dishes up on the Sunday plate Is now the lamb in ghostly guises It`s all done in the best of taste Ooh, you should have known better You should have known better, a-ha-ha It`s not for you, this one`s for me It`s not for you, this one`s for me
