The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobodys gonna go to school today,
Shes gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesnt 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 dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
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
Fathers world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Well sweet 16 aint she peachy keen,
And it aint 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 dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
Im gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
Ill shoot it all down

And all the playings 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 hows and whys
And he can see (no reasons)
cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
And nobodys gonna go to school today
Shes gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesnt understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like, I dont like
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like, I dont like
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down
