Tumble outta bed And stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life Jump in the shower And the blood starts pumpin' Out on the streets The traffic starts jumpin' With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 Chorus:
Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by It's all takin' And no givin' They just use your mind And they never give you credit It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion You would think that I Would deserve a fair promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won't seem to let me in I swear sometimes that man is out to get me Mmmmm...
They let your dream Just a' watch 'em shatter You're just a step On the boss man's a' ladder But you got dream he'll never take away
On the same boat With a lot of your friends Waitin' for the day Your ship'll come in And the tide's gonna turn An' it's all gonna roll you away
2nd Chorus:
Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by It's all takin' And no givin' They just use your mind And you never get the credit It's enough to drive you Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you There's a better life And you think that I would daunt you It's a rich man's game No matter what they call it And you spend your life Putting money in his wallet
3rd Chorus:
Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by It's all takin' And no givin' They just use you mind And they never give you credit It's enough to drive you Crazy if you let it
Fade:
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you There's a better life And you dream that I would daunt you It's a rich man's game No matter what they call it And you spend your life Putting money in his wallet
