bobbie mcgee - nine to five lyrics
let me tell you the story of a woman named suzie
who applied to a job one day
they tested her for typing
for shorthand and speed+writing
and they gave her the lowest pay
chorus:
we type and file nine to five
we barely stay alive
working from day to day
well we’ve done a day’s work in the offices of boston
and it’s time we got a day’s pay
well suzie did the filing and she kept the correspondence
she answered the telephone
though the boss may be a doubter
still he couldn’t do without her
why, he couldn’t call a taxi on his own!
suzie asked for a promotion and she sure caused a commotion
he just looked at her in disbelief
but the raised he’s been giving just don’t match that cost of living
though the boss is still eating beef!
chorus:
we type and file nine to five
we barely stay alive
working from day to day
well we’ve done a day’s work in the offices of boston
and it’s time we got a day’s pay
well suzie got together all the women in the office
and they started to organise
if you thought women wouldn’t fight
for a basic worker’s right
then you’re in for a big surprise
and you women of boston, don’t you think it’s a scandal
that we suffer while employers thrive
women’s work is never done
and fighting back has just begun
for a better life from nine to five
chorus:
we type and file nine to five
we barely stay alive
working from day to day
well we’ve done a day’s work in the offices of boston
and it’s time we got a day’s pay
yes, it’s time we got a day’s pay
