Lyrics: Yes
 
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
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 nine to five
 
Workin' nine to five, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Hoo hoo hoo ooo woo
 
My two lives have got me hoppin'
Dawn till midnight, there's no stoppin'
Never know which I'm mothering the most
Pack his lunch and kiss my son and
Grab my purse and I keep runnin'
Got so much on my plate I could choke
 
Workin' nine to five
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a big 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
 
Nine to five...
 
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
 
You're 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
 
Nine to five
 
As long as we're together
 
You know you and I
 
Will make it through whatever
They can't keep us down
We'll just rise above it
 
You hold onto me, we'll tell them where to shove it
 
Nine to five, you can lose your mind
Get up and work, get up and work
Nine to five, you can lose your mind
Workin' nine to five...
Nine to five, you can lose your mind
Nine to five...
It's enough to drive you crazy
It's enough to drive you crazy
It's enough to drive you crazy
It's enough to drive you
Get up and work
Get up and work, nine to five, nine to...
 
Dreams and plans are in the making
Success is out there for the taking
Wish it was as simple as it sounds
 
I swear to you I'm gonna do it
Grit my teeth and I'll get through it
It's hard to see the upside when you're down
 
Workin' nine to five, it became necessary
When my husband, Dick
Left me for his secretary
Never worked before
But somehow I've got to make it
'Til I learn the ropes
I guess I'll just have to fake it
 
Get up and work, get up and work
Workin' nine to five
 
So many of us do it, but we know inside
We're gonna make it through it
Oh there's a brighter day
And we'll keep lookin' t'ward it
And we'll buy that dream soon as we can just afford it
 
Nine to five, working nine to five...
Nine to five, working nine to five...
Nine to five, (you can lose your mind)
Nine to five
It's enough, it's enough, it's enough...
 
I deserve a big fat promotion
 
For folks like these
 
The tide's gonna turn
 
Workin' nine to five
Nine to five!
