9 to 5

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

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

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 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

Going funny if you w
