Tumble bed And stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawnin' and stretchin' and 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
Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' 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 think that I Would deserve a promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won't seem to let me 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 ladder But you got dream he'll never take away
In the same boat With a lot of your friends Waitin' for the Your ship 'll come in And the tide's gonna turn An' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' 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 let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you There's a better life And you think about it don't you It's a rich man's No matter what they call it And you spend your life Putting money in his wallet
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 love
9 to 5, yeah, got you where they want you There's a better life And you think about it don't you It's a rich man's game No matter what they call it And you spend your life Putting money in his wallet
