9 To 5 by Dolly Parton (Lyrics)

I have decided to put my whole music collection on Youtube. I do not own the rights to any of the songs.

#67 9 To 5 by Dolly Parton

Album: 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs
Year: 1980
Written By: Dolly Parton

Lyrics:
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 pumping
Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from nine to five

Working nine to five
What a way to make living
Barely
Getting by
It's all taking and no giving
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

They let you dream just to watch them shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away

Your in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship will come in
And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

Working nine to five
What a way to make living
Barely
Getting by
It's all taking and no giving
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've 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 pocket
Nine to five
Whoa, what a way to make a living
Barely
Getting by
It's all taking and no giving
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've 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 pocket
Nine to five
