Dolly Parton's, "9 to 5"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Nine to five, yeah, they got you where they want you,
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you.
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you.
Why They're Misrhymed:
"You" is rhymed with itself.

Dolly Parton's, "9 to 5"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
The next verse in the song...
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
The next verse in the song...
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
Why They're Misrhymed:
*credit* and *let it* don't rhyme; neither does *shatter* and *ladder* (nonetheless it still makes sense lyrically, and was a huge hit for Dolly in early 1981).

Dolly Parton's, "9 to 5"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me,
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me.
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me.
Why They're Misrhymed:
"Me" is rhymed with itself.

Dolly Parton's, "I'll Make Your Bed"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I'm not the kind of girl that married dear dad
I don't make apple pies and cookies from scratch
Later in the song...
I promised forever on the day that we met
That I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed.
I don't make apple pies and cookies from scratch
Later in the song...
I promised forever on the day that we met
That I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed.
Why They're Misrhymed:
I don't know why Dolly thinks that 'Dad' rhymes with 'scratch," because they just simply DON'T. 'Met' and 'bed' is perhaps understandable, but still pushing it.
