9 To 5 LYRICS

[Brett Ferino]

Title: "9 to 5"
By: "Dolly Parton"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.

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 going funny if you want it.
