Lyrics
Tumble out of bed
And 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 streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
For 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 fat promotion

Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me

Oooooh

They let you dream
Just a watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away

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 you away

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make 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 were 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
Putting money in his wallet

9 to 5
Oh, 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

Augh this vid just makes me so happy! SO BRILLIANT AND HILARIOUS.

[such_heights]

OH MY GOD. YOU'RE A GENIUS. I started laughing when I saw the song choice and summary and DID NOT STOP until the vid finished, at which point my sides hurt. Oh god, what a beautiful gift to the world this is. The section of everything exploding make me cackle, oh wow, those poor poor stormtroopers. AMAZING. THANK YOU. I LOVE EVERYTHING THIS CHOOSES TO BE.

Aw, "character death" warning. Legos never die; they just re-assemble: that is my philosophy.

Of course Darth Vader is Employee of the Month. The Stormtroopers never had a chance. Warm, hilarious, and wonderful vid.

[odessie]

Oh oh oh, this is so perfect I can't even. HILARIOUS, I can't stop grinning!

[schneefink]

So cute! And a great new (to me) point of view of the movies' plots. All the action and cheese and "jeez is this really our job", really well done.

OMG, this is the best song choice ever. So brilliant! You had me from the opening bars, and by the time I hit "that man is out to get me [*TROOPER SMOOSH*]" I was a complete goner.
