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'
And 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 livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all
takin'
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 were 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
Going funny if you want it
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 your 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 daunt you
It's a rich man's
game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Going funny it you want it
