Jump on outta 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 9 to 5

Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
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

9 To 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat 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 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the bossman's ladder
But you got dreams
He'll never take away

You're in the same boat
With a lotta your friends
Waiting for the day
Your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a living
Barely getting by
It's all taking and no giving

They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's 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 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 wallet

9 To 5, 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

9 To 5, yeah, they done 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 wallet
