Dolly Parton 9 To 5 - Dolly Parton
Tumble out of 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' 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 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 fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that girl is out to get me
Mmmmm
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
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'N' 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 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 yeah they got you where they want you
There's a 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 putting money in his wallet
