Tumble outta bed and a’stumble to the kitchen

Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin’
F C F
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
[Chorus]

Workin’ 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin’

It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
A#
9 to 5, for service and devotion
F
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
A#
Want to move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
G C F
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
[Verse]

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
