Hi Everyone
Today I have been leaning the Dolly Parton Song 9 to 5.
I feel like Dolly Parton should be represented more here in the music community.
I dont think I have seen anyone here cover a Dolly song.
This song was featured in the 1980 movie of the same name.
Dolly stars in the movie along side Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin.
If you guys have never seen this movie its well worth watching ,it is listed at number 74 on the American film institutes funniest movies of all time.
Before starring the movie Dolly Parton was already a succesful singer and songwriter but it was this song and movie that made her a mainstream pop culture icon.
I hope you enjoy my version of this classic tune.
"9 to 5"
Dolly Parton
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
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' 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
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
You're 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
And 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
Puttin' 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
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
Puttin' 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
