Lyrics[]

Mr. Nezzer: Man, I tell ya! Sometimes being a businessman is a long, hard grind!

Mr. Lunt: Oh, you got that right, boss!

Mr. Nezzer: Make me kinda wish I'd grown up to be a cowboy.

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 (Mr. Lunt: Help me, Mr. Coffee!)

Jump in the shower

And the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the street

The traffic starts jumpin'

The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin'

Mr. Nezzer, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5

Mr. Nezzer: What a way to make a livin ('Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

Barely

Mr. Nezzer, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: Gettin' by

Mr. Nezzer: It's all takin' and no givin ('Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

They just

Mr. Nezzer, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: Use your mind

And they never give you credit (Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

It's enough to drive you crazy

If you let it

Mr. Lunt, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5,

Mr. Lunt: For service and devotion (Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

You would

Mr. Lunt, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: Think that I

Mr. Lunt: Would deserve a fat promotion (Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

Want to

Mr. Lunt, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: Move ahead

Mr. Lunt: But the boss won't seem to let me (Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

I think sometimes that man is

Out to get me

Mr. Nezzer: Wait, I'm your boss!

Mr. Lunt: Uh, did I say that out loud?

Mr. Nezzer: I know what ya mean.

They let you dream

Just to watch 'em shatter

You're just a step

On the boss man's ladder

But you got dreams

He'll never take away

Mr. Lunt: You're in the same boat

With a lotta your friends

Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in

And the tide's gonna turn

And it's all gonna roll your way

'Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt: Workin

Mr. Nezzer, Mr. Lunt, Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5

Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt: What a way to make a livin ('Larry and Junior: Ooooh)

I think sometimes that man is

Out to get me

Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5

Mr. Nezzer: Oh, I know he's out to get me! I knew I didn't like him. From the first moment I saw him, I said "That guy is out to get me!"

Mr. Lunt: I don't know what you're talking about.

Mr. Nezzer: You know exactly what I'm talking about; that beady little look in his eye.

Mr. Lunt: I thought you were the boss.

Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5

Mr. Nezzer: Oh yeah. I don't even know what I'm talking about.

Mr. Lunt: You're talking about you! I should be the one complaining about you! I'm the worker bee, you're the queen bee! I am oppressed!

Mr. Nezzer: Oh yeah. Well, what am I complaining about?

Mr. Lunt: I don't know. Did you lose your key to the executive washroom?

Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5

Mr. Lunt: I know I who's under your thumb; the little guy who's doing the real work in this crazy, mixed-up world!

Mr. Nezzer: Are you feeling alright? I think you need to sing a different song.

Larry, Junior, Jimmy, and Jerry: 9 to 5
