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)

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
