Dolly Song Lyrics

  Send "9 To 5" Ringtone to your Cell  

Tumble out of bed and 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 pumping



Out on the street

the traffic starts jumping



With folks like me on the job from nine to five.



Working nine to five

what a way to make living



Barely getting by

it's all taking and no giving.

They just use your mind

and they never give you credit



It's enough to drive you crazy

if you let it.



Nine to five

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.



They let you dream just to watch them shatter



You're just a step on the boss man's ladder



But you've got dreams he'll never take away.

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.



Working nine to five

what a way to make a living

. . .



Nine to five

they've 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 putting money in his pocket.



Nine to five

what a way to make a living

. . .



Nine to five

they've got you where they want you

. . .
