Working 9 to 5

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 pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Chorus:

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
And I feel alive
It's about takin' and givin'

You must use your mind
And give yourself some credit
It's enough to drive you
All the way if you let it

9 to 5
For service and devotion
And maybe one day
I’ll get that fair promotion

Want to move ahead
But time doesn’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that time is
Out to get me, hmmm

Time lets you dream
Sometimes they shatter
Always one more step on the ladder
But you got dreams it'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:

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
And I feel alive
It's about takin' and givin'

You must use your mind
And give yourself some credit
It's enough to drive you
All the way if you let it

9 to 5
Lots of places gonna want you
There's no better life
You should think about it, won't you?

It's the human game
No matter what they call it
Why not spend some time
Putting money in your wallet?

9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
And I feel alive
It's about takin' and givin'

You must use your mind
And give yourself some credit
It's enough to drive you
All the way if you let it

9 to 5
Lots of places gonna want you
There's no better life
You should think about it, won't you?

It's the human game

No matter what they call it
Why not spend some time
Putting money in your wallet?

9 to 5
