Nine To Five — текст песни (Dolly Parton)

Tumble out of bed and 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 pumping;
out on the street, the traffic starts jumping,
with folks like me on the job from nine to five.

Chorus: 1,3,5.
Nine to five, what a way to make a living;
barely getting by,it`s all taking and no giving.
They just use your mind, and (depending on verse) they never give you or
you never get the credit; it`s enough to drive you crazy, if you let it.

Verse 2
They let you dream just to watch them shatter;
You`re just a step on the boss man`s ladder,
But you`ve 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.

Chorus: 2
Nine to five, 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 some-times, that man is out to get me.

Chorus: 4,6.
Nine to five, they`ve got you where they want you;
There`s a better life, and you dream 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 pocket.
