Nine to Five Songtext
von Kikki Danielsson

Tumble out of bed and I 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 pumpin′
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
A folk like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin′ 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it′s all takin′ and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It′s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 To 5, full 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 your dream just watch them shatter
You′re just a step on the bossman's ladder
But you 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

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin′
Barely gettin' by, it′s all takin' and no givin′
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 To 5, full 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

9 To 5, what a way to make a livin′
Barely gettin′ by, it's all takin′ and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It′s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 To 5, full 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
