Allemande left that corner go, come back one and dosado
The men star left go once around
Pick her up with an arm around, star promenade that town
And the girls backtrack two times around
Workin' 9 to 5
Meet your girl and then you turn thru
Left allemande and you promenade her too
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

Four little ladies chain across, turn that girl and you don't get lost
Chain those ladies right back home again
Put the ladies center, back-to-back, boys promenade the outside track
Go once around and find that same girl, dopaso
Turn her by the left and the corner right and her left again
Take that corner by the right and promenade my friend
I want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

Sides face grand square
Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come alive
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic's jumpin'
Folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Circle left
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin' by
Allemande left and promenade her
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
