AS HEARD ON SHOW
Tumble out of bed, stumble in the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawning, stretching, trying to catch a ride
Don't try to talk to your friends
You wait a while and your ship will come in.
Working 9 to 5 -
What a way to make a living! 9 To 5.

COMPLETE LYRICS
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
