作曲:D.Parton
Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come alive
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping out
On the streets of traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from nine to five
Work workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin' barely gettin' by
It's all takin' there's no givin'
They'll just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it nine to five
For service and devotion
You would think that I deserve a fast promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Yet to dream just to watch him shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
You're on the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship will come in the tide
Head gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin' barely gettin' by
It's all takin' there's no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you get it nine to five
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 game
No matter what they call own it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
Nine to five what a way to make a living believe
Getting by it's all taking there's no giving
They'll just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five yeah they got you where they want you
It's a better life when you think about it
Don't it's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
