dolly parton – nine to five lyrics
tumble out of bed and 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.
chorus: 1, 3, 5.
nine to five, what a way to make a living;
barely getting by, it’s all taking and no giving.
they just use your mind, and (depending on verse) “they never give you” or
“you never get the” credit; it’s enough to drive you crazy, if you let it.
verse 2
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.
in the same boat with a lot of your friends;
waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in,
and the tide’s gonna turn, and it’s all gonna roll your way.
chorus: 2
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 some-times, that man is out to get me.
chorus: 4, 6.
nine to five, 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.
