9 To 5 Lyrics |
||
 I`d like to tell you all just a little bit about my background. I grew up
in the Southeastern part of Oklahoma. In a little, bitty town called Chockie. It was little, it only had 18 people it. That`s 18 people, not 1,800. We`re talkin` small. In that town in Southeastern Oklahoma, we had a lot of fun growin` up, us kids. There was 3 things that my mama and daddy always taught us. Number one, they taught us to work hard. Number two, they told us, if you ever start a job - you finish it. And number three, they said once you start that job you give it 110% of everything you have. And we did. Not only is my daddy a hard workin` man, but my mama is a hard workin` woman. And that`s what she instilled in us three girls, was to be hard workin` women. Now that`s not to say we didn`t have a lot of fun, `cause we did. Why, I can remember gettin` in that closet. Puttin` on them high-heeled shoe And I wanna dedicate it to all the hard-workin` women with us tonight! 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 I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin` Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin` For 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 fair promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won`t seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is Out to get me Well, 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 Well you`re in the same boat with a lot of your friends Waitin` for the day, the ship to come in And 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 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 fair promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won`t seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is Out to get me 9 to 5, they got you where they want you There`s a better life And you think about it don`t ya It`s a rich man`s game No matter what they call it And you`ll spend your life Puttin` money in his wallet [Sung by background singers:] 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 fair promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won`t seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is Out to get me |
