[Verse 1] Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to life (come to life) Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin' Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin' With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 [Chorus] Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living (living) Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving They just use your mind and they never give you credit (credit) It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it (if you let it) 9 to 5, for service and devotion (You would) You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me (let me) I swear sometimes that man is out to get me (out to get me) [Verse 2] They let you dream just to watch them shatter You're just a step on the boss man's ladder But you got dreams he'll never take away (take away) In the same boat with a lot of your friends Waiting for the day your ship will come in And the tide's gonna turn an' it's all gonna roll your way [Chorus] Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living (living) Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving They just use your mind and you never get the credit (credit) It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it (if you let it) 9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you (there's a) 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 (what they call it) And you spend your life putting money in his wallet (money in his wallet) [Bridge] I said let's hunt shout Maybe I need to break down Let's break out Everybody gonna get down now I said, let's punch out (time to party) Maybe I need to break down (oh yeah) Lets bust out (Ooh) Everybody gonna get down now I said let's punch out (time to party) Maybe I need to break down (got to breakdown) Let's cut out (Ooh) Everybody gonna get down now I said, let's punch out Maybe I need to break down Lets freak out Everybody gonna get down now (Get up! Get up!) [Chorus] Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living (living) Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving They just use your mind and you never get the credit (credit) It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it (if you let it) 9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you (there's a) 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 (what they call it) And you spend your life putting money in his wallet (money in his wallet) [Outro] 9 to 5, for service and devotion (You would) You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me (let me) I swear sometimes that man is out to get me (out to get me)
