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
