Nine to Five

Nine to Five - Kikki Danielsson

Written by：Lasse Holm

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

And yawnin' stretchin' 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 watch 'em shatter

You're just a step on the boss man'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 an' 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 you never get the 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

9 to 5 oh 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
