เพลง 9 to 5

9 to 5 (朝九晚五) - Dolly Parton

Lyricist：Dolly Parton

Composer：Dolly Parton

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

Working 9 to 5

What a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by

It's all taking

And no giving

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 you dream

Just to watch them 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

Waiting for the day

Your ship will come in

And the tide's gonna turn

An' it's all gonna roll you away

Working 9 to 5

What a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by

It's all taking

And no giving

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 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

Working 9 to 5

What a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by

It's all taking

And no giving

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 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
