Lyrics

[00:10.06] Tumble outta bed
[00:11.29] And stumble to the kitchen
[00:12.51] Pour myself a cup of ambition
[00:14.81] Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
[00:19.55] Jump in the shower
[00:20.88] And the blood starts pumpin'
[00:22.17] Out on the streets
[00:23.33] The traffic starts jumpin'
[00:24.47] And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
[00:27.78] Chorus: chorus
[00:28.21]
[00:28.70] Workin' 9 to 5
[00:30.69] What a way to make a livin'
[00:33.12] Barely gettin' by
[00:35.31] It's all takin'
[00:36.44] And no givin'
[00:37.78] They just use your mind
[00:39.94] And they never give you credit
[00:42.25] It's enough to drive you
[00:44.45] Crazy if you let it
[00:46.44]
[00:47.28] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
[00:52.19] You would think that i
[00:54.45] Would deserve a fair promotion
[00:56.66] Want to move ahead
[00:58.83] But the boss won't seem to let me in
[01:01.21] I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
[01:06.10] Mmmmm... Mmmmm...
[01:08.69]
[01:10.86] They let your dream
[01:12.12] Just a' watch 'em shatter
[01:13.23] You're just a step
[01:14.35] On the boss man's a' ladder
[01:15.77] But you got dream he'll never take away
[01:19.31]
[01:20.14] On the same boat
[01:21.43] With a lot of your friends
[01:22.58] Waitin' for the day
[01:23.87] Your ship'll come in
[01:24.85] And the tide's gonna turn
[01:26.65] An' it's all gonna roll you away
[01:27.37]
