Reba McEntire – 9 To 5 Lyrics  Share

I^,d like to tell you all just a little bit about my background. I grew up
in the Southeastern part of Oklahoma. In a little, bitty town called
Chockie. It was little, it only had 18 people it. That^,s 18 people, not
1,800. We^,re talkin^, small. In that town in Southeastern Oklahoma, we had
a lot of fun growin^, up, us kids. There was 3 things that my mama and
daddy always taught us. Number one, they taught us to work hard. Number
two, they told us, if you ever start a job - you finish it. And number
three, they said once you start that job you give it 110% of everything
you have. And we did. Not only is my daddy a hard workin^, man, but my mama
is a hard workin^, woman. And that^,s what she instilled in us three girls,
was to be hard workin^, women. Now that^,s not to say we didn^,t have a lot
of fun, ^,cause we did. Why, I can remember gettin^, in that closet. Puttin^,
on them high-heeled shoe

And I wanna dedicate it to all the hard-workin^, women with us tonight!
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
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin^,
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin^,
For 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

Well, they let you dream just to watch ^,em shatter
You^,re just a step on the boss man^,s ladder
But you^,ve got dreams he^,ll never take away
Well you^,re in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin^, for the day, the ship to come in
And the tide^,s gonna turn and 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 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

9 to 5, they got you where they want you
There^,s a better life
And you think about it don^,t ya
It^,s a rich man^,s game
No matter what they call it
And you^,ll spend your life
Puttin^, money in his wallet

Workin^, 9 to 5

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
