The Lyrics
“Since starting Ye Olde 9 to 5, I have seemingly doubled the number of friends, social activities, yet not sleep! What with Sarah and Stacy’s birthdays two Thursdays in a row, plus a weekend in Wales, and of course Kung Fu, cinema, and trips to the local Wetherspoons, its been a tiring but very enjoyable few weeks. Long may it continue.” ~ Paul Robert Lloyd, 27 July 2004
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That work day is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That work day is bound to get you,
Work day, work day, work day, work day, work day...mmm...
(female vocal)
9 to 5,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
9 to 5,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,
9 to 5,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
9 to 5,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, simple as ABC,
It’s the 9 to 5!
(vocal trio)
9 to 5,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
9 to 5,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,
9 to 5,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
9 to 5,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Simple as ABC,
It’s the 9 to 5, whoa!
9 to 5,
(instrumental call-back)
9 to 5,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,
9 to 5,
(instrumental call-back)
9 to 5,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Simple as ABC,
It’s the 9 to 5, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That work day is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)

Work day, work day, work day, work day, work day...mmm...
