There's smell of fresh cut grass
And it's filling up my senses
And the sun is shining down
On the blossoms in the avenue.
There's a buzzing fly hanging
Around the bluebells and the daisies
And there's a lot more loving left in this world.

Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.

And I lie on warm and soft sancly beaches
And my toes are submerged in the water
And it feels good.
Children playing building castles on the shoreline
Like a painted little love and lord
It feels so fine.

Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
Uh Huh
Uh Huh

There's white horses and they're
Coming at me and they face now
And there's a blue sirocco
Blowing warm into my face.
The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges
The cars going by with smiles in the windows.

There's a black cat Iying in the
Shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat keeps telling me
That love is on it's way. Yeah

There's a black cat Iying in the
Shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat tells me that
Love is on it's way.

Don't go
Don't ieave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.

Stick around and laugh a while. - Don't go! -

Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
Uh huh

Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles

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
'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
And Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't it peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need, oh-h-h

(Chorus)
Down, down, shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
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
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh-h-h

1. verse
the silicon...

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 mondays
i wanna shoot, oooo-ooo-ooot,
