    Tumble 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 pumpin'
    Out on the street
    The traffic starts jumpin'
    The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

    Workin' 9 to 5,
    What a way to make a livin'
    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
    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 boss-man's ladder
    But you got dreams
    He'll never take away
    You're in the same boat
    With a lotta your friends
    Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
    'N' the tide's gonna turn
    And it's all gonna roll your way

    Workin' 9 to 5
    What a way to make a livin'
    Barely gettin' by
    It's all takin' and no givin'
    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 think about it, don't you
    It's a rich man's game
    No matter what they call it
    And you spend your life
    Puttin' money in his wallet

    9 to 5, whoa
    What a way to make a livin'
    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

    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
