9 to 5 (Studio Version)

[Verse 1]

Tumble outta bed

And I stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

And yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to life

Jump in the shower

And the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the streets

The traffic starts jumpin'

With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

[Chorus]

Working 9 to 5

What a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by

It's all taking and no giving

They just use your mind

And they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you

Crazy if you let it

[Verse 2]

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

I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

Ooh
