9 to 5 with dolly parton

Kelly Clarkson

(Nine to five)

Tumble out of 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 s jumpin
With folks like me on the job from nine to five

Workin nine to five, 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
Workin nine to five, 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

Nine to five (nine to five)
Nine to five (workin , workin , workin )
(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 ve 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

Workin nine to five, 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 (but you won t let it)
Workin nine to five, 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 puttin money in his wallet
Workin nine to five, 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
Workin nine to five, workin nine to five
It s a rich man s game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin money in his wallet

(Nine to five) just workin , workin , workin
(Nine to five) just workin , workin , workin
(Nine to five) and you think about it, don t you? (Nine to five)
Yeah, you think about it, don t you? (Nine to five)
