Get up late the birds don't wait for anyone

If your running fast the birds goes past too bad

You get to work you feel a jerk the boss is mad

He says you think we're on go slow

You better get your cards and go go go



Chorus

9 to 5

You gotta break out in the night time

You gotta make a weekend high time

After 9 to 5

After 9 to 5



Got no job you need to earn a bob or two

Cos all your mates in this ain't state as you

Lp's careers can buy your beers and pay your way

Your on the dead end of the street

Trying hard to make ends meet



Chorus

9 to 5

You gotta break out in the night time

You gotta make a weekend high time

After 9 to 5

9 to 5

You gotta break out in the evening

Cos you never did believe in

All that 9 to 5

All that 9 to 5



Clockin' in and clockin' all the office girls

Oh let me take you out tonight Joanne

Will ya lend a fiver Ma I'm broke and I've got a date

She's a cracking bit of stuff

But she don't know when she's had enough



Chorus

9 to 5

You gotta break out in the night time

You gotta make a weekend high time

After 9 to 5

9 to 5

You gotta break out in the evening

Cos you never did believe in

All that 9 to 5

All that 9 to 5

All that 9 to 5
