 9 To 5 & Odd Jobs » Lyrics [+ Kuongeza +] |
1. _ Working Girl
Some men find her sexy, some men disagree
But if she's not, it's not because she doesn't want to be
She wears a push-up bra from freddericks, five inch high heel shoes
Maybelline and rubinstein, and avon's best perfume
She's a working girl
Chorus:
She's a working girl, she is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl
Some find her to aggressive, she don't know how to stop
Cause she's the kind that don't look down until it's from the top
She's elegant and stylish, french perfume and a fur
Designer clothes by halston and diane von furstenburg
And she's a working girl
Repeat chorus
She has taken her place among the tallest of trees
But she weeps like a willow when she's brought to her knees
Cause she's a working girl
You'll find her dressed according to standard uniform
Cause she must dress in comfort for the job she must perform
She has so many faces, she wears so many names
She goes so many places and she does so many things
Cause she's a working girl
Repeat chorus
Fade:
Repeat chorus twice

2. _ 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 a 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 where 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
Puttin' money in his wallet
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 you 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 about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

3. _ Hush-a-bye Hard Times
Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hush a bye hard times, go ye away
Cause my hungry baby wants a gingerbread cake
Not a cow in the barn yard no money to spend
Not an egg in the hayloft, no little red hen
Chorus:
So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with an angry
Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare
Oh, hush a bye hard times go ye to rest
Cause my ragged baby wants a new ruffled dress
And she wants some new shoes with buckles to wear
And she wants some silver bows for her golden hair
Repeat chorus twice
Hush a bye hard times go ye away
I don't intend to be treated this way
So, hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Don't cry no more
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more
Fade:
Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Don't cry no more
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more

4. _ Detroit City
You know last night i went to sleep in detroit city
And i dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers
And i dreamed about a love who's been waiting there so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh how i want to go home
My kinfolks think i'm big in detraoit city
From all the letters that i write, they think i'm fine
By day i make the cars
But, by night i make all the bars
Oh if only they's just read between the lines
They'd know i want to go home
I want to go home
Oh how i want to go home
You know i rode a freight train north to detroit city
And after all these years i find i've been wasting my time
Think i'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride
Heading back to the loved ones i left there waiting behind
Repeat chorus

5. _ But You Know I Love You
When the mornin' sun
Streaks across my room
And i'm wakin' up
From another dream of you
Yes, you know i'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, i love you
And how i wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'cause i've got so much to give
But ya' know i feel so sad
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keepin' us apart
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
And if only i could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had not yet crossed my mind
And the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come runnin' back to you
I'd come runnin' back to you
Mmmmm
But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Got to pay the rent
So i must leave you all alone
'cause you know i made my choice many years ago
And now this travelin' life
Well, it's the only life i know
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, i love you
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
Fade:
But you know i love you
But you know i love you
Oh, i love you
But you know that i love you
But you know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
But you know that i love you
But you know that i love you
Oh, how i love you

6. _ Dark As A Dungeon
Come and listen you fellows
So young and do fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
It will form as a habit
Seep in your soul
'til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal
There's many a man
That i've known in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine
I hope when i'm gone
And the ages shall roll
My body will blacken
And turn into coal
Then i'll look out the door
Of my heavenly home
And i'll pity the miners
A-diggin' my bones
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine

7. _ Poor Folks Town
The work is hard and the hours are long
The money ain't much but we get along
We're rich in things can give
That can't be bought with a dollar bill
So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no carpets on the floor
We've got wall to wall love
Who could ask for more
We got no big fine things to show
Just a place to watch our children grow
We got no big fine fancy car to drive
And no fancy clothes to keep in style
What we've got we're payin' on
But it's mostly love that we're livin' on
So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We've got a little simple church nearby
And the promise of a mansion in the sky
A heart of gold a million dollar smile
And a one way ticket to paradise
So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town

8. _ Sing For The Common Man
You may not know me now
But i have been around
You'll never see my name on any pages
I'm just the common man
The fool who understands
The pain you go through
When life takes you under
So, sing for the common man
A song for the common man
He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow
He will survive, he will survive
You may not know my mother
My sisters or my brothers
Yet everyone has given for the other
You know the working man
He builds what others plan
So, everyone of us should sing his story
So, sing for the common man
A song for the common man
He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow
He will survive, he will survive
Dat after day
He keeps working away
In offices, factories, and farms
Year after year
He sheds tear after tear
He will provide, he will survive
So, sing for the common man
A song for the common man
He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow
He will survive, he will survive

9. _ Deportee (plane Wreck At Los Gatos)
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps
You're flying them back to the mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my juan, goodbye rosalita
Adios mis a-mi-gos, jesus and maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportee
Some of us are illegal and some of us are not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
But it's 600 miles to that mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like theives
Goodbye to my juan, goodbye rosalita
Adios mis a-mi-gos, jesus and maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportee
My father's own father, waded that river
They took all the money he made in his life
My brothers and sister come work the fruit trees
They rode the truck til' they took down and died
The airplane caught fire over los gatos canyon
A fireball of lightning that shook all our hills
Who are these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves
The radio said they were just deportees
Goodbye to my juan, goodbye rosalita
Adios mis a-mi-gos, jesus and maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportee
No, all they will call you will be deportee
All they will call you will be deportee

10. _ The House Of The Rising Sun
There is a house down in new orleans
Down in the vieux carr'e
A house they call the rising sun
Where love and money are made
My father he was a gambler
Mother died when i was young
And i've worked since then
To please the men
At the house of the rising sun
There is a house
Down in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh god, you know i'm one
So mothers you go telling all your daughters
Not to do what i've done
To live a life of sin, shame and strife
In the house of the rising sun
There is a house in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh god, you know i'm one
Oh god, you know i'm one
