Well hey
And this is dedicated to
All my powerful women
Working 9 to 5
Two, three jobs just to survive
All my powerful women
No man at home
Raising all the kids alone
All my powerful women
Y'all deserve a throne
Keep your head up and stay strong
All my powerful women
No matter what
Never Give Up!

I remember working hard with my mom
You name it, she did it
You name it, she sewed it
You name it, she cleaned it
You name it, she owed it
She had to provide
We had to survive
So you name it, she stole it
Our whole life was layaway
Pay pay pay
But the bills never went away
Put your hands to the sky
This goes out to the women
Working hard 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
The boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me
Break it down
Here's to your mama
And here's to mine
Thank you Dolly
Dale

Mama worked hard her entire life
She had 12 kids at 35
Working 24/7 365
Working 5 to 9 and
9 to 5
They let you dream
Just to watch em' shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
You got dreams
He'll never take away
You're all in the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship will come in
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 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
The boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me

Here's to Jane and Lilly
And the girls that fight
For equal pay
Equal rights
Now some of us
Are pitbulls too
We appreciate
The things you do
Thanks again for shining light
On the women that work
From 9 to 5
It's my pleasure
Dale
