Boomtown Rats, baby
The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to o-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 good as gold
And he can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sho-ow-ow-ow-own
Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays, Tell me why I don't like Monday-ays
Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays, I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot
The whole day-ay 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-ou need, oh-woh-woh-woh
Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays, Tell me why I don't like Monday-ays
Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays, I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot
The whole day down, down, down, shoot it on down
And now the playin'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 hows and whys
And he can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to-oo day, day, Oh-oh-ooh
And the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to o-overload
Oh and nobody's gonna go to school today, She's gonna make them stay at ho-ho-ome
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 sho-ow-ow-ow-own
Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays, Tell me why I don't like Monday-ays
Tell me why I don't like, I don't like, Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays
Tell me why I don't like, I don't like, Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays
Tell me why I don't like Mo-ondays
I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot, the - whole - day-ay - down
Ooh-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-ooh, Ooh
