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)
