 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 good as gold,

 And he can see no reasons

 'Cos there are no reasons

 What reason do you need to be show oh oh oh own

 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 wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot

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 sixteen ain't that peachy keen,

 No, that ain't so neat to admit defeat,

 They can see no reasons

 'Cos there are no reasons

 What reasons do you need oh oh oh whoa whoa

 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 wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot

The whole day down, down, down, 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'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

 'Cos there are no reasons

 What reason do you need to die die oh oh oh

 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, I don't like Mondays,

 Tell me why I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondays,

 Tell me why I don't like Mondays,

 I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot

(on 8th Fret)

The whole day down.
