Karaoké 9 to 5 Dolly Parton

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch 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 nine to five

Workin' nine to five

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

Nine to five 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

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

Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in and the tides gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away

Workin' nine to five

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

Nine to five

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 putting money in his wallet

Nine to five

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

Nine to five

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 putting money in his wallet

Nine to five, ooh workin' nine to five said workin' nine to five

Why am I workin' anyway?

Workin' nine to five
