Dolly Parton: 9 To 5 - Tekst piosenki

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 . . .
