Lyrics:

Einleitung: 4 Takte
Tumble out of bed
and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch
and try to come to live
Jump in the shower
and the blood starts pumping
Out of 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
its all taking and no giving
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
Its enough to drive
you crazy if you let it
Nine to five
for service and devotion
You would think thatI
would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
but the boss wont seem to let me
I swear sometimes
that man is out to get me
They let you dream
just to watch them shatter
Youre just a step
on the boss mans ladder
But youve got dreams
hell never take away
In the same boat
with a lot of your friends
Waitin for the day
your shipll come in
And the tides gonna turn
and its gonna roll your way
Working nine to five
what a way to make a living
Barely getting by
its all taking and no giving
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
Its enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
Nine to five
theyve got you where they want you
Theres a better life
and you dream about it dont you
Its a rich mans 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
Barely getting by
its all taking and no giving
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
Its enough to drive
you crazy if you let it
Nine to five
theyve got you where they want you
Theres a better life
and you dream about it dont you
Its a rich mans game
no matter what they call it
And you spend your life
putting money in his pocket
