Tumble outta bed 
And stumble to the kitchen 
Pour myself a cup of ambition 
Yawnin, stretchin, 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 
Chorus: 
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 
9 to 5, for service and devotion 
You would think that i 
Would deserve a fair promotion 
Want to move ahead 
But the boss wont seem to let me in 
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me 
Mmmmm... 
They let your dream 
Just a watch em shatter 
Youre just a step 
On the boss mans a ladder 
But you got dream hell never take away 
On the same boat 
With a lot of your friends 
Waitin for the day 
Your shipll come in 
And the tides gonna turn 
An it's all gonna roll you away 
2nd chorus: 
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 you never get the credit 
Its 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 that I would daunt you 
Its a rich mans game 
No matter what they call it 
And you spend your life 
Puttin money in his wollet 
3rd chorus: 
Workin 9 to 5 
What a way to make a livin 
Barely gettin by 
Its all takin 
And no givin 
They just use you mind 
And they never give you credit 
Its enough to drive you 
Crazy if you let it 
Fade: 
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you 
There's a better life 
And you dream that I would daunt you 
Its a rich mans game 
No matter what they call it 
And you spend your life 
Puttin money in his wollet
