TOMMY JOHANSSON 9 To 5 (Dolly Parton cover)

TOMMY JOHANSSON — 9 To 5 (Dolly Parton cover) Originally performed by Dolly Parton Written by Domly Parton From the album «9 to 5 and odd jobs», 1980 Tumble outta bed and I 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 pumpin’ Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin’ The folks like me on the job from nine to five. Workin’ nine to five, what a way to make a living 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 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 sometimes that man is out to get me. They let you dream just to watch ’em shatter You’re just a step on the boss-man’s ladder But you got dreams he’ll never take away You’re in the same boat with a lotta your friends Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in Then the tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll your way. Workin’ nine to five 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 Nine to five, 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 puttin’ money in his wallet. Nine to five, whoa, 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. Nine to five, yeah, they 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...
