It's Five O'clock Somewhere
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,
An' so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it's July.
I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I'd like to call him somethin',
I think I'll just call it a day.
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
An' half the night.
Tomorrow mornin', I know there'll be hell to pay,
Hey, but that's all right.
I ain't had a day off now in over a year.
Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here.
if the 'phones for me,
You can tell 'em I just sailed away.
An' pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab,
An' be back to work before two.
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
JIMMY BUFFETT:
Funny you should ask Alan,
I'd say:
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
ALAN JACKSON & JIMMY BUFFETT:
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
He don't care.
I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
What time zone am I on? What country am I in?
ALAN JACKSON:
It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it.
ALAN JACKSON:
Yeah, I heard that.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
You been there haven't you.
ALAN JACKSON:
Yes, sir.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
I seen your boat there.
ALAN JACKSON:
I've been to Margaritaville a few times.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
All right, well that's good.
ALAN JACKSON:
Stumbled all the way back.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
OK. Just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons.
ALAN JACKSON:
Between the bouys, I gotcha.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
All right. Well, it's five o'clock. Let's go somewhere.
ALAN JACKSON:
I'm ready, crank it up.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
Let's get out of here.
ALAN JACKSON:
I'm gone.

Pour me something tall and strong.
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane.

Tomorrow morning I know there'll be hell to pay,

Mr. Spaceman
Performed by jimmy buffett, the great gonzo, and rizzo the rat
From kermit unpigged - jim henson records bmg kidz.
(talking)
Rizzo: hey look gonzo, jimmy's buffet!
Gonzo: oh, no no no no/ that's jimmy buffett. he's recording in there.
Come on let's go say hello.

Gonzo: hello jimmy
Jimmy: gonzo
Gonzo: hey, you don't look so good
Jimmy: i had the most amazing night last night
(singing)
Jimmy: woke up this morning, with light in my eye,
And then realized it was still dark outside.
It was a light coming down from the sky.
I don't know who or why
Gonzo: must be those strangers that come every night,
Whose saucer shaped light, put people uptight.
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark.
I hope they get home alright.
(chorus)
Both: hey mr. spaceman,
Won't you please take me along.
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey mr. spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for the ride.
Jimmy: woke up this morning,
I was feeling quite weird.
Had flies in my ear and my toothpaste was smeared.
Opened my window,
They had written my name.
Both: said so long, we'll see you again.
(chorus)
Both: hey mr. spaceman,
Won't you please take me along.
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey mr. spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for the ride.
(talking)
Rizzo: hey you two.
Gonzo: what do you want rizzo?
Rizzo: you won't believe this, but there's a space ship outside.
Jimmy: oh yeah, i knew they'd come back for me.
Rizzo: what!
Jimmy: come on boys, let's go
Gonzo: yeah, let's go
Rizzo: no way, i'm not goin up in that thing.
Gonzo: oh rizzo
(singing)
(chorus)
Both: hey mr. spaceman,
Won't you please take me along.
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey mr. spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for the ride.
Won't you please take me along for the ride.
(talking)
Jimmy: alright gonzo, you ready to go?
Gonzo: sure
Rizzo: gonzo, you can't leave. you have to be here for the end of the album
Gonzo: ah, yeah
Jimmy: hey, see you later guys. i'm space bound.

Conky Tonkin' (feat. Clint Black)
(Jimmy Buffett):
Well, I was bored to death in South Beach
Not one celebrity spotted in days
She was tired of her mood lunch and all peekin' feet
She was just tired of just soaking up rays
Then she saw him pull up to the stop light
In that old ragtop she couldn't name
He said, "Hop inside. I'm headin' South. Take a right.
I'm just the next man you're gonna blame.",
US-1 headin' down US-1
(Clint Black):
Then he said, "How 'bout lunch in Key Largo?"
There's a fish sandwich place down the road
Outta the sticks
But we can be back by six
Never leave our area code
Well, geography wasn't her strong point,
She'd never been passed the Dade Land Mall
So they stopped on the way Lenny was happy to pay
For a new thong and purple beach ball
Chorus 1 (Both):
They're goin' conky tonkin'
Cruisin' on the weekend bus
Really conky tonkin'
Doin' it just because
(Jimmy Buffett):
Havin' too much fun to turn back
There were explorers in a Hot rod Ford
They counted seabirds and cars stopped at all the cool bars
(Both):
Harmonically, they struck a cord
(Jimmy Buffett):
STOP! What was that?
Somewhere in the middle
On the 7-Mile Bridge
He said, "Bella, do you wanna see the rest?",
She said, "I haven't a care, Lenny, just take me there.",
And they drove all the way to Key West
(Clint Black):
Well, she's never seen anything like it
In all of her 26 years
Well, she was feelin' a booze
And he was making his move
They were quite a pair of pioneers
Chorus 2 (Both):
They're goin' conky tonkin'
Cruisin' down US-1
They're goin' conky tonkin'
Tryin' to catch up with the Sun
Chorus 3 (Both):
They're goin' conky tonkin'
The engine is about to explode
Really goin' conky tonkin'
Hey, they'll meet you at the end of the road

Margaritaville (feat. Jimmy Buffet)
[ duet with Jimmy Buffett ]
Nibblin' on sponge cake watchin' the sun bake all of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimps they're beginning to boil
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville searching for my last shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know it's nobody's fault
I don't know the reason to stay here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty a Mexican cutie how it got here I haven't a clue
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville searching for my last shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame now I think must be Buffett's fault
[ steel - mandolin ]
I blew out my flip-flop stepped on a pop-top
Broke my legs crise on my way back home
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on hang on
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville searching for my last shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know this is all Alan's fault
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know it's all damn fault
