9 To 5 movie - Nine To Five lyrics

rate me

Ensemble:<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>
