Jon Lajoie - Nine To Five lyrics

rate me

What's a nine-five office job? It sounds exactly like what I want

Young man, that is one party that you may not be able to handle

Nine to five, nine to five

Monday to Friday life

Nine to five, nine to five

Cubicles and neon lights

Nine to five, nine to five

Stay 'til six, get overtime

Nine to five, nine to five

We motherfucking love our lives

Wake up in the morning at six, breakfast with the wife and kids

Pack yourself lunch, a ham sandwich, a juice box and carrot sticks

Cafeteria food is expensive, it may not fit into your budget

Hop on the bus public transit

Or carpool for the environment

Leave early in case there is traffic

Bring a newspaper or your favourite music

John Mayer to the ???? and Jon Bon Jovi's greatest hits

Get to work at 8:55, five minutes early so you have the time

To pull yourself a coffee and say hi to your co-workers

"Good morning guys"

Talk about the shows that were on last night

Or a sports event if you're a guy

The boss walks in and says "look and the time everybody get to work,

It is nine!"

Nine to five, nine to five

Bathroom break at 11:05

Nine to five, nine to five

Quality chairs to support the spine

Nine to five, nine to five

External calls, make sure to press nine

Nine to five, nine to five

We motherfucking love our lives

Photo copiers and fax machines

A casual Friday you get to wear jeans (Yay!)

How crazy is that, wearing jeans to work

On the tenth of every month wearing Hawaiian shirts

Hawaiian shirt day, Hawaiian shirt day!

Who said an office job wasn't a party?

Health insurance, paid sick-days

Bring baked goods to work on Tuesdays

Jill's muffins are always a hit

"What's the recipe, Jill? From Cosco..."

"...still good choice. Yeah good choice there, nice and squishy"

Staplers, keyboards and calculations

Work related conversations

"Hey, did you get my work-related email?

Yes I got your work-related email..."

"Your Tron' screensaver is really rad

Thanks, I like your Starwars mousepad

It was a gift from my dentist on my 30th birthday"

Clock strikes five, it's the end of the work day

Home by six, in bed by ten

Wake up and do it all over again

Nine to five, nine to five

Why do I always feel like cry?

Nine to five, nine to five

It's not what I dreamt of as a child

Nine to five, nine to five

Everyday someone commits suicide

Nine to five, nine to five

We motherfucking hate our lives!
