Tumble out of bed
and 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'
and 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 you 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

They let you dream
just to watch em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
but you've got dreams he'll never take away

In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship will come in
And the tide's gonna turn
and it's all gonna to 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 you mind
and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

9 to 5
Yeah, they've got you where they want you
There's no 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
Whoa, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use you mind
and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

9 to 5
they've got you where they want you
There's no better life
and you dream 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
