9 To 5 movie - Nine To Five lyrics
rate meEnsemble:<br>
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen,<br>
Pour myself a cup of ambition;<br>
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life.<br>
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin',<br>
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin',<br>
For folks like me out on the job from nine to five.<br>
<br>
Workin' nine to five, what a way to make a living!<br>
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'<br>
They just use your mind and they never give you credit.<br>
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.<br>
Hoo hoo hoo ooo woo<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
My two lives have got me hoppin'.<br>
Dawn till midnight, there's no stoppin'.<br>
Never know which I'm mothering the most.<br>
Pack his lunch and kiss my son and<br>
Grab my purse and I keep runnin'.<br>
Got so much on my plate I could choke.<br>
<br>
Violet & Ensemble:<br>
Workin' nine to five,<br>
For service and devotion,<br>
You would think that I<br>
would deserve a big fat promotion<br>
Want to move ahead<br>
But the boss won't seem to let me.<br>
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!<br>
<br>
Ensemble:<br>
Nine to five...<br>
<br>
Doralee:<br>
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter.<br>
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder;<br>
But you got dreams he'll never take away!<br>
<br>
Dwayne:<br>
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends,<br>
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in.<br>
<br>
Doralee & Dwayne:<br>
And the tide's gonna turn,<br>
And it's all gonna roll your way,<br>
Nine to five!<br>
<br>
Dwayne:<br>
As long as we're together<br>
<br>
Both:<br>
You know you and I<br>
<br>
Dwayne:<br>
Will make it through whatever.<br>
They can't keep us down,<br>
<br>
Doralee:<br>
We'll just rise above it.<br>
<br>
Both:<br>
You hold onto me, we'll tell them where to shove it!<br>
<br>
Ensemble:<br>
Nine to five, you can lose your mind<br>
Get up and work, get up and work,<br>
Nine to five, workin' nine to five...<br>
It's enough to drive you crazy,<br>
Get up and work, nine to five...<br>
<br>
Judy:<br>
Dreams and plans are in the making,<br>
Success is out there for the taking,<br>
Wish it was as simple as it sounds.<br>
I swear to you I'm gonna do it,<br>
Grit my teeth and I'll get through it!<br>
It's hard to see the upside when you're down.<br>
<br>
Workin' nine to five, it became necessary<br>
When my husband, Dick,<br>
Left me for his secretary.<br>
Never worked before,<br>
But somehow I've got to make it.<br>
'Til I learn the ropes,<br>
I guess I'll just have to fake it!<br>
<br>
Ensemble:<br>
Get up and work, get up and work,<br>
Workin' nine to five!<br>
<br>
All:<br>
So many of us do it, but we know inside<br>
We're gonna make it through it<br>
Oh there's a brighter day<br>
And we'll keep lookin' t'ward it<br>
And we'll buy that dream soon as we can just afford it<br>
<br>
Nine to five, you can lose your mind...<br>
It's enough, it's enough, it's enough<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
I deserve a big fat promotion<br>
<br>
Judy:<br>
It's hard to the see the upside<br>
<br>
Doralee:<br>
The tide's gonna turn!<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Workin' nine to five!<br>
Nine to five!<br>
<br>
