Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen,
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch 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.
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.
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me.
Mmmmm...
They let you dream
Just a watch 'em shatter.
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder,
But you got dreams 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
And it's all gonna roll your way
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 you never get the credit.
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it.
9 to 5,
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 it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet.
9 to 5,
Oh, 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.

And you dream about it, don't you?
