LETRA
9 to 5
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
chorus:
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 in
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...
They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's a' ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away
On 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 you away
2nd chorus:
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
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 were they want you
There's a better life
And you think that I would daunt you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Going funny if you want it
3rd chorus:
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
Fade:
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream that I daunt you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Going funny it you want it
Significado de la letra
La canción '9 to 5' de Dolly Parton narra la rutina diaria de una trabajadora, desde que se despierta y se dirige a la cocina hasta que termina su jornada laboral. Describe la monotonía y frustración de trabajar de 9 a 5, apenas sobreviviendo, sintiendo que su mente es explotada sin recibir el reconocimiento que merece. A pesar de su deseo de avanzar, su jefe parece obstaculizar su progreso, haciéndole sentir perseguida.
La canción refleja la sensación de estar atrapado en un ciclo de trabajo alienante donde las aspiraciones se desvanecen y los sueños se desmoronan, pero también transmite un mensaje de esperanza y resistencia. Habla sobre la solidaridad con colegas en situaciones similares, todos esperando su oportunidad para un cambio. Aunque el sistema parece diseñado en contra de ellos, hay una creencia en que habrá un día en que la marea cambie y la vida mejore.
En medio de críticas a la explotación laboral y al sistema que la perpetúa, la canción también invita a cuestionar las normas establecidas y a aspirar a una vida mejor. A pesar de la dureza de la realidad que describe, '9 to 5' transmite un mensaje de resistencia, solidaridad y esperanza en un futuro diferente.
