[Verse 1]
Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawnin' and stretchin' and try to 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
Barely gettin' 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

[Verse 2]
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
Ooh
