Karaoké Nine to Five 9 to 5 (musical)

Tumble outta bed and

I stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Yawn and stretch and

Yawn and stretch and try to come to life try to come to life

Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin' for folks like me

Folks like me on the job

On the job from nine to five from nine to five

Workin' nine to five

Workin' nine to five what a way to make a living what a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by

Barely gettin' by it's all takin' and no givin' it's all takin' and no givin'

They just use your mind

They just use your mind and they never give you credit and they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you

It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it crazy if you let it

My two lives have got me hoppin'

Dawn 'till midnight there's no stoppin'

Don't know which

I'm mothering the most

Pack his lunch and kiss my son and grab my purse and I keep runnin'

Got so much on my plate

I could choke

Workin' nine to five for service and devotion

You would think that I would deserve a fat 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 got dreams he'll never take away

You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends

Waitin' for the day your ship will come in

The tide's gonna turn

The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way and it's all gonna roll your way

Nine to five

Nine to five as long as we're together

You know you and I

You and I will make it through whatever

Well they can't keep us down we'll just rise above it

You hold onto me

You hold onto me we'll tell them where to shove it we'll tell them where to shove it

Nine to five

Dreams and plans are in the making

Success is out there for the taking

Wish it was as simple as it sounds

I swear to you

I'm gonna do it

Grit my teeth and

I'll get through it

It's hard to see the upside when you're down

Workin' nine to five it became necessary

When my husband, Dick left me for his secretary

Never worked before but somehow I've got to make it

'Till I learn the ropes

I guess I'll just have to fake it

Nine to five so many of us do it

But we know inside we're gonna make it through it

There's a brighter day and we'll keep lookin' toward it

And we'll buy that dream soon as we can just afford it

Nine to five workin' nine to five

Nine to five workin' nine to five

Nine to five

Nine to five

I deserve a fat promotion

Tide's gonna turn

Workin' nine to five

Nine to five
