Nine To Five
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What's a nine-five job? It sounds exactly like what I want
Young man, that is one party that you may not be able to handle
Nine to five, nine to five
Monday to Friday life
Nine to five, nine to five
Nine to five, nine to five
Stay to six, get overtime
Nine to five, nine to five
We motherfucking love our lives
Wake up in the morning at six, breakfast with the wife and kids
Pack yourself lunch, a ham sandwich, a juice box and carrot sticks
Cafeteria food is expensive, it may not fit into your budget
Hop on the bus public transit
Leave early in case there is traffic
Bring a newspaper or your favourite music
John Mayer to the? And Jon Bon Jovis greatest hits
Get to work at 8:55, five minutes early so you have the time
To pull yourself a coffee and say hi to your co-workers
"Good morning guys"
Talk about the shows that were on last night
Or sports events if you're a guy
The boss walks in and says "look and the time everybody get to work,
Emmy is nine!"
Nine to five, nine to five
Bathroom break at 11:05
Nine to five, nine to five
Chairs to support the spine
Nine to five, nine to five
External calls, make sure to press nine
Nine to five, nine to five
We love our fucking love our lives
Photo copiers and fax machines
A casual Friday you get to wear jeans (Yay!)
How crazy is that, wearing jeans to work
? Wearing Hawaiian shirts
Hawaiian shirt day, Hawaiian shirt day!
Who said an office job wasn't a party?
Health insurance, paid sick-days
? Goes to work on Tuesdays
Jill's muffins are always a hit
"What's the recipe, Jill? From Cosco..."
"... Ytill good choice. Yeah good choice there, nice and squishy"
Staplers, keyboards and calculations
Work related conversations
"Hey, did you get my work-related email?
Yes I got your work-related email..."
"Your? Screensaver is really?
Thanks, I like your Starwars mousepad
It was a gift from my dentist on my 30th birthday"
Clock strikes five, it's the end of the work day
Home by six, in bed by ten
Wake up and do it all over again
Nine to five, nine to five
Why do I always feel like cry?
Nine to five, nine to five
It's not what I dreamt of as a child
Nine to five, nine to five
Everyday someone commits suicide
Nine to five, nine to five
We motherfucking hate our lives!
