9 To 5

La canción 9 to 5, compuesta e interpretada por Dolly Parton, se inspiró en la experiencia de Parton con la desigualdad de género y los desafíos enfrentados por las mujeres trabajadoras.

Tumble outta bed and a`stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn n` stretch n` and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin`
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin`
With 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`
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 mmmmmmm

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
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin` for the day your ship`ll come in
And the tide`s gonna turn, an` 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 you never get the credit
It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
There`s a better life - and you think about it don`t you
It`s a rich man`s game - no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet

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, yeah - they got you where they want you
There`s a better life - and you dream about it don`t you
It's a rich man`s game - no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
