Jump on outta bed and i stumble to the kitchen
(shake your hands left twice, then right twice)
pour myself a cup of ambition
(shake hands upwards twice, then downwards twice)
and yawn and stretch and try to come to life
(shake your hands left twice, right twice, then slide your hands downwards by your side, starting at your head to waist, and thrust your pelvis)
jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpinand'
take a few steps to the left and clap)
out on the street the traffic starts jumpinand'
(take a few steps to the right and clap)
with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
(turn around towards the left, and clap, then turn towards the right and clap)
**repeat the actions all through the song in time to the dance beat**
Workinand' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livinand'
barely gettinand' by, itand's all takinand' and no givinand'
they just use your mind and they never give you credit
itand'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 fat promotion
want to move ahead but the boss wonand't seem to let me
i swear sometimes that man is out to get me!
They let you dream just to watch and'em shatter
youand're just a step on the boss-manand's ladder
but you got dreams heand'll never take away
youand're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
waitinand' for the day your shipand'll come in
and'nand' the tideand's gonna turn and itand's all gonna roll your way
Workinand' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livinand'
barely gettinand' by, itand's all takinand' and no givinand'
they just use your mind and you never get the credit
itand's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
thereand's a better life, and you dream about it, donand't you?
itand's a rich manand's game no matter what they call it
and you spend your life puttinand' money in his wallet
Music continues to fade
