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' Letras de cancionesThey 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 (sung by background singers) 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 From Letras Mania
