REBA MCENTIRE - 9 To 5 lyrics

rate me

I'd like to tell you all just a little bit about my background. I grew up<br />

in the Southeastern part of Oklahoma. In a little, bitty town called<br />

Chockie. It was little, it only had 18 people it. That's 18 people, not<br />

1,800. We're talkin' small. In that town in Southeastern Oklahoma, we had<br />

a lot of fun growin' up, us kids. There was 3 things that my mama and<br />

daddy always taught us. Number one, they taught us to work hard. Number<br />

two, they told us, if you ever start a job - you finish it. And number<br />

three, they said once you start that job you give it 110% of everything<br />

you have. And we did. Not only is my daddy a hard workin' man, but my mama<br />

is a hard workin' woman. And that's what she instilled in us three girls,<br />

was to be hard workin' women. Now that's not to say we didn't have a lot<br />

of fun, 'cause we did. Why, I can remember gettin' in that closet. Puttin'<br />

on them high-heeled shoe<br />

<br />

And I wanna dedicate it to all the hard-workin' women with us tonight!<br />

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen<br />

Pour myself a cup of ambition<br />

And yawn and stretch and try to come to life<br />

I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'<br />

Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'<br />

For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5<br />

<br />

Workin' 9 to 5<br />

What a way to make a livin'<br />

Barely gettin' by<br />

It's all takin' and no givin'<br />

They just use your mind<br />

And they never give you credit<br />

It's enough to drive you<br />

Crazy if you let it<br />

9 to 5 for service and devotion<br />

You would think that I<br />

Would deserve a fair promotion<br />

Want to move ahead<br />

But the boss won't seem to let me<br />

I swear sometimes that man is<br />

Out to get me<br />

<br />

Well, they let you dream just to watch 'em shatter<br />

You're just a step on the boss man's ladder<br />

But you've got dreams he'll never take away<br />

Well you're in the same boat with a lot of your friends<br />

Waitin' for the day, the ship to come in<br />

And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way<br />

<br />

Workin' 9 to 5<br />

What a way to make a livin'<br />

Barely gettin' by<br />

It's all takin' and no givin'<br />

They just use your mind<br />

And they never give you credit<br />

It's enough to drive you<br />

Crazy if you let it<br />

9 to 5 for service and devotion<br />

You would think that I<br />

Would deserve a fair promotion<br />

Want to move ahead<br />

But the boss won't seem to let me<br />

I swear sometimes that man is<br />

Out to get me<br />

<br />

9 to 5, they got you where they want you<br />

There's a better life<br />

And you think about it don't ya<br />

It's a rich man's game<br />

No matter what they call it<br />

And you'll spend your life<br />

Puttin' money in his wallet<br />

<br />

(sung by background singers)<br />

Workin' 9 to 5<br />

What a way to make a livin'<br />

Barely gettin' by<br />

It's all takin' and no givin'<br />

They just use your mind<br />

And they never give you credit<br />

It's enough to drive you<br />

Crazy if you let it<br />

9 to 5 for service and devotion<br />

You would think that I<br />

Would deserve a fair promotion<br />

Want to move ahead<br />

But the boss won't seem to let me<br />

I swear sometimes that man is<br />

Out to get me
