I Don't Like Monday Lyrics - Singles - Bob Geldof

The silicon chip inside her head 

Gets switched to overload, 

And nobody's gonna go to school today, 

She's going to make them stay at home, 

And daddy doesn't understand it, 

He always said she was as good as gold, 

And he can see no reason 

Cos there are no reasons 

What reason do you need to be shown 

'Tell me why 

I don like Mondays'(x3) 

I want to shoot 

The whole day down 

The Telex machine is kept so clean 

As 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 

Cos there are no reasons 

What reason do you need 

'Tell me why 

I don like Mondays' (x3) 

I want to shoot 

The whole day down 

And now 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 crackles, 

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 

ohh~ 

'Tell me why 

I don like Mondays' (x7) 

I want to shoot 

The whole day down
