(Who runs this?)
It's Mr. Worldwide (who runs this?)
With the one and only (who runs this?)
Dolly Parton (who runs this?)
Well, hey!
And this is dedicated to (who runs this?)
All my powerful women
Workin' nine to five
Two, three jobs just to survive
All my powerful women
No men at home
Raisin' all the kids alone
All my powerful women
Y'all deserve a throne
Keep ya head up and stay strong
All my powerful women
No matter what, never give up (woo)
I remember workin' hard with my mom
You name it, she did it (yeah)
You name it, sewed it (yeah)
You name it, cleaned it (yeah)
You name it, she owed it (yeah)
She had to provide (yeah)
We had to survive
So you name it, she stole it (yeah, woo)
Our whole life was layaway
Pay, pay, pay (pay, pay, pay)
But the bills never went away
Put your hands to the sky
This goes out to the women workin' hard nine to five
Working nine to five (nine to five)
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by (get it, girl)
It's all takin' and no givin' (ha, ha)
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
Nine to five (nine to five)
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
The boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me (break it down)
Ooh, ooh
Here's to your mamma and here's to mine (thank you, Dolly)
Dolly, ha, ha
Mamma worked hard her entire life
She had 12 kids at 35 (woo)
Workin' 24-7, 365
Workin' five to nine and nine to five
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
You got dreams he'll never take away (never take away)
You're all in the same boat with the love of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship will come in
Tide's gonna turn, and it's all gonna roll your way
Working nine to five (nine to five)
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by (I'm gettin' by)
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind (they use your mind)
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it (they drive you crazy)
Nine to five
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion (you think that I)
Want to move ahead (would deserve a fat promotion)
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me (he's out to get me)
Ooh, ooh
Here's to Jane and Lily
And the girls that fight
For equal pay, equal rights
Now, some of us are Pitbulls too
We appreciate the things you do
Thanks again for shinning the light
On the women that work from nine to nine
It's my pleasure, Dolly
