Bobbie McGee – Nine to Five

Bobbie McGee – Nine to Five Lyrics

Artist: Bobbie McGee
Song: Nine to Five

Let me tell you the story of a woman named Suzie
Who applied to a job one day
They tested her for typing
For shorthand and speed-writing

And they gave her the lowest pay
We type and file Nine to Five
We barely stay alive
Working from day to day

Well we’ve done a day’s work in the offices of Boston
And it’s time we got a day’s pay
Well Suzie did the filing and she kept the correspondence
She answered the telephone

Though the boss may be a doubter
Still he couldn’t do without her
Why, he couldn’t call a taxi on his own!
Suzie asked for a promotion and she sure caused a commotion

He just looked at her in disbelief
But the raised he’s been giving just don’t match that cost of living
Though the boss is still eating beef!
We type and file Nine to Five

We barely stay alive
Working from day to day
Well we’ve done a day’s work in the offices of Boston
And it’s time we got a day’s pay

Well Suzie got together all the women in the office
And they started to organise
If you thought women wouldn’t fight
For a basic worker’s right

Then you’re in for a big surprise
And you women of Boston, don’t you think it’s a scandal
That we suffer while employers thrive
Women’s work is never done

And fighting back has just begun
For a better life from Nine to Five
We type and file Nine to Five
We barely stay alive

Working from day to day
Well we’ve done a day’s work in the offices of Boston
And it’s time we got a day’s pay
Yes, it’s time we got a day’s pay
