9 to 5 by Dolly Parton

  

Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition

Yawn and stretch and try to come to life

Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

 

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

 

Dolly is a force of nature.  She wrote this one for the film of the same name (1980) in which she appeared.
