He always said she was good as gold,

B D#m
The Telex machine is kept so clean
E F#
And it types to a waiting world,

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
E F#
She wants to play with her toys a while,
B D#m
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

And the lesson today is how-to-die.

And the captain tackles,
B E
With the problems and the how's and why's
E
And he can see no reasons
E
Cos there are no reasons
E F#
what reason do you need to die
Tell me why I don't like mondays
Tell me why I don't like mondays
Tell me why I don't like mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
B
The whole day down.
