(lyrics by dolly parton)

Jump on outta 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 street the traffic starts jumpin
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by, its all takin and no givin
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
Its enough to drive you crazy if you let it

They let you dream just to watch em shatter
Youre just a step on the boss-mans ladder
But you got dreams hell never take away
Youre in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin for the day your shipll come in
n the tides gonna turn and its all gonna roll your way

Workin 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by, its all takin and no givin
They just used your mind and you never get the credit
Its enough to drive you crazy if you let it

Workin 9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
Theres a better life, and you dream about it, dont you?
Its a rich mans game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin money in his pocket
