Karaoké Five O'Clock World Hal Ketchum

Up every mornin' just to keep a job

Got to fight my way through the rustlin' mob

Sounds of the city pounding in my brain

While another day goes down the drain

It's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows

No one owns a piece of my time

There's a five o'clock me inside my clothes

Thinkin' that the world looks fine yeah

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Tradin' my time for the pay I get

Livin' on money that

I ain't made yet

Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way

But I live for the end of the day

It's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows

No one owns a piece of my time

There's a long-haired girl who waits I know to ease my troubled mind yeah

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

In the shelter of her arms everything's ok

She talks and the world goes slippin' away

I know the reason I can still go on

When every other reason is gone

'Cos in my five o'clock world she waits for me nothin' else matters at all

'Cos every time my baby smiles at me

I know that it's all worth while yeah

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Yo do le hi hi wee oh

Yo do le hi hi wee oh
