"Nine To Five" lyrics

"Nine To Five"

[The Star is in Norman's office. His day of sweat and toil has begun.]

Answering phones and dictating letters
Making decisions that affect no one
Stuck in the office from nine until five
Life is so incredibly dull
Working from nine to five

Oh nine to five, nine to five
Working from nine to five

And time goes by
The hours tick away
First seconds
Then minutes
Then hours into days
Each day
Each week
Seems just like any other
All work
No play
It's just another day

He's caught in a mass of computerised trivia
Deciphering data for mechanical minds
He's lost in the paperwork and up to his eyes
He's checking a list that's been checked out before
And he's starting to lose his mind

Oh nine to five, nine to five
Working from nine to five

Oh nine to five, nine to five
Working from nine to five
