Strum
D-DU-UDU
Tumble  outta bed
 And stumble to the kitchen
Pour  myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin'  and stretchin' and  try to come to life
 Jump in the shower
 And the blood starts pumpin'
 Out on the streets
 The traffic starts jumpin'
 With folks 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, for 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 a' watch 'em shatter
 You're just a step
 On the boss man's ladder
 But you got dream 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
 An' it's all gonna roll you away
 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 you never get the credit
 It's enough to drive you
 Crazy if you let it
 9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
 There's a better life
 And you think about it don't you
 It's a rich man's game
 No matter what they call it
 And you spend your life
 Putting money in his wallet
 Workin' 9 to 5
 What a way to make a livin'
 Barely gettin' by
 It's all takin'
 And no givin'
 They just use you mind
 And they never give you credit
 It's enough to drive you
 Crazy if you love it
 9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
 There's a better life
 And you think about it don't you
 It's a rich man's game
 No matter what they call it
 And you spend your life
 Putting money in his wallet
 What a great song, loL! Nah, my brother likes to sing this song, and it's easy,
 so I just worked it out. Enjoy, and remember: she's more than just a pair of tits!
