9 to 5

MAN #1Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen

WOMAN #1Pour myself a cup of ambition

MAN #1 & WOMAN #1Yawn and stretch and try to come to life

MENJump in the showers and the blood starts pumpin’

WOMENOut on the streets the traffic starts jumpin’

COMPANYFor folks like me out on the job from nine to fiveWorkin’ nine to five, what a way to make a living

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 itHoo, hoo, hoo, ooo, woo

VIOLETMy two lives have got me hoppin’

Dawn till midnight, there’s no stoppin’Don’t know which I’m mothering the most

Pack his lunch and kiss my son andGrab my purse and I keep runnin’

Got so much on my plate I could choke

VIOLET & COMPANYWorkin’ nine to five

VIOLETFor service and devotion

VIOLET & COMPANYYou would think that I

VIOLETWould deserve a big fat promotion

VIOLET & COMPANYWant to move ahead

VIOLETBut the boss won’t seem to let me

Page 3: 9 to 5 the Musical Lyrics

VIOLET & COMPANYI swear sometimes that man is out to get me!

COMPANYNine to five!

DORALEEThey let you dream just to watch ‘em shatterYou’re just a step on the boss man’s ladderBut you got dream’s he’ll never take away!

DWAYNEYou’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends

Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in

DORALEE & DWAYNEAnd the tide’s gonna turn

And it’s all gonna roll your wayNine to five!

DWAYNEAs long as we’re together

DORALEE & DWAYNEYou know you and I

DWAYNEWill make it through whatever

DORALEEWe’ll just rise above it

DORALEE & DWAYNEYou hold onto me, we’ll tell them where to shove it!

COMPANYNine to five, you can lose your mindGet up and work, get up and workNine to five, workin’ nine to five

It’s enough to drive you crazyGet up and work, nine to five

JUDYDreams and plans are in the makingSuccess is out there for the takingWish it was as simple as it sounds

I swear to you I’m gonna do itGrit my teeth and I’ll get through it!

It’s hard to see the upside when you’re down

Page 4: 9 to 5 the Musical Lyrics

Workin’ nine to five, became necessaryWhen my husband, DickLeft me for his secretary

JUDY & COMPANYNever worked before

JUDYBut somehow I’ve got to make it

JUDY & COMPANY‘Til I learn the ropes

JUDYI guess I’ll just have to fake it

Here for You

HARTOh, my sweet dear Doralee

You don’t know what you mean to meI just don’t know what I would do without you

You’re so efficient and alertAnd the way you lookWell, shit don’t hurt!

Now please, don’t think I’m just a flirtIt’s just I’m nuts about you!

Here for you, I’m here for youI want you so, I truly do

My body is your instrumentPlease play it!

It’s just that you stay on my mindEvery minute, all the time

I’ve got to do it, make you mine completelyAw, I’d give you every dime I’ve gotWhy honey, you could be on top!

There’s no way to say this all discreetly

I’d like to take those double D’sHold them so close to me

I could lose myself in her foreverYeah, will I get those legs uncrossed?

Of course I will, yeah, ‘cause I’m the boss

I will win at any cost, I’m cleverOh-oh, here for you, I’m here for you

Though I do enjoy the viewOh dear I can see why you feel shaky

The ladder of success is steepBut not if you hold onto me

Or I’ll hold onto you, my sweetOh, you just drive me crazy!

I will have that moment I have long anticipatedI will have my way with her

She’ll wonder why she’s waitedI won’t flinch until I quench

My thirst from her sweet cupThose sweet cups

Yes I get just what I wantAnd I want her so much

I’m here for youI’m here for you

And I will not give, mmm, up!

I Just Might

JUDYWhat to do and where to start

Things are falling all apartTrying to move ahead

But keep losin’ ground insteadStill I have to take a chance

Putting fear and doubt asideHad no warning in advance

Nothin’ left to do but try

And I just might make it workI just might make it after all

I just might rise above the hurtThough I suffered quite a fall

But I have to get a gripHold onto it like a vice, hmmHave to face the fallen chips

I just might make it, I just might

DORALEEYou’re the one that keeps me strong

You’re the shoulder I lean on

VIOLETHard to swallow pride

DORALEEWhen I think I’ve had enoughI think of you and toughen up

VIOLETI know the truth inside

DORALEELove’s a weapon and a tool

And I am nobody’s fool

VIOLETI’m nobody’s fool

DORALEEI’ll just try to right what’s wrong

JUDY, DORALEE & VIOLETAnd just keep on keepin’ onBut I just might make it workI just might make it after all

VIOLET & JUDY

Page 11: 9 to 5 the Musical Lyrics

JUDYHave to go on either way

DORALEE & VIOLETHave to go on

JUDY, DORALEE & VIOLETRise above it, I just mightBe stronger than I know

Backwoods Barbie

DORALEENow I’ve always been misunderstood

Because of how I lookDon’t judge me by the coverBecause I’m a real good bookSo read into it what you will

But see me as I amThe way I look is just

A country girl’s idea of glam

Now I grew up poor and raggedJust a simple country girl

I wanted to be prettyMore than anything in the world

Like Barbie or the modelsIn the Frederick’s catalogue

From rag’s to wishes, in my dreamsI could have it all

I’m just a backwoods BarbieToo much make-up, too much hair

Don’t be fooled by thinkin’ thatThe goods are not all there

Don’t let these false eyelashesLead you to believe

That I’m as shallow as I look‘Cause I run true and deep

I’m just a backwoods BarbieIn a push-up bra and heels

I might look artificialBut where it counts, I’m real

Yes, I can see where I could beMisjudged upon first glance

But even backwoods Barbie’sDeserves a second chance

All dolled up and hopin’For a chance to prove my worth‘Cause even backwoods Barbie’s

Get their feelings hurt

Page 13: 9 to 5 the Musical Lyrics

Heart to Hart

ROZI’m his girl. Franklin and Rosalind Hart. Frank and Roz Hart

Perhaps I don’t look like some red hot mammaBut believe me that’s just what I am

Inside there’s a fire mixed with passion and dramaFeelings backed up like a dam

And if I ever turn loose, I’ll tell you the truthDear Hart, you won’t be quite the same

And if I ever get my hands on youI guarantee you’ll be screaming my name!

Heart to Hart, eye to eyeLip to lip, hip to thigh

Tip to toe, and I’ll know what to doI’ll put on some music, take off my clothesLet down my hair, and I’ll put on a show

And I’ll open some wine and I’ll close all the doorsCupid’s dart though my hearts says I’m yours

I’ll use my love as my magic wandOn the women who clutter your world

And I’ll zap them aside ‘cause I truly despiseHow they treat you, I am your girl

They just don’t understand what a wonderful manI’ve come to know you to be

And I’ve got a feelin’That deep down inside

You might just feel the same about me

Heart to Hart, here we areI can tell by the stars

In my eyes I’m in sheer paradiseI’m in love, I’m in heat, I’m not being discreet

No it’s not ladylikeBut I won’t miss a beat

Till you’re under my spell and surrender to me

Heart to Hart, you are my destinyYou are my destiny!

ROZ & COMPANYHeart to HartHeart to Hart

You’re my destiny!

Heart to HartHeart to Hart

You’re the one for me!

ROZAnd let me tell you something else

I will always be your girlYou know I’ll always care!

COMPANYHeart to Hart

ROZYou and I

Just like I fantasizeLike the lovers in books and on screen

You’re my handsome princeCome to sweep me away

Out into the sunset to love me always

And you’re my Romeo and I’m your JulietCome hither to my waiting breast

Here I am, lay me downAnd let’s go a few rounds

You and me happily, my princeHeart to Hart, n’er to part

The end!

COMPANYHeart to HartHeart to HartHeart to Hart

VIOLETThey say we always get what we deserve

Whether good bad or indifferent

DORALEEThat’s what I’ve always heard

JUDYNo good deed goes unpunished

But the bad deeds you have doneStretched out, I’m sure that they would reach from here to kingdom come

VIOLETWe think it’s time you get what you deserve

You’ve got no true compassionBut you’ve really got some nerves

VIOLET, DORALEE & JUDYAnd you’ve hurt every one of us

JUDYIn different kinds of ways

DORALEEWhat goes around, comes around

VIOLET, DORALEE & JUDYAnd each dog has its day

DORALEEUnder this hair is a brain!

Not that you even careAnd you only see tits, but get this

There’s a heart under thereA heart that you’ve broken and ripped out

More times than a fewWell, ol’ Double D Doralee’s

Gonna stick it to you!

I’m gonna shine like the sunWhen these clouds roll away from my door

When it’s all said and doneI won’t be at your mercy no more

I will prove my own worthHeal the damage and hurt

That’s been doneWhen the crying’s all done

Page 23: 9 to 5 the Musical Lyrics

JUDYI’ve had enough hurt in my lifeAnd you’ve been adding to itBut I’m in control now and

Let Love Grow

JOELove can grow in the strangest places

Might find love in strangers facesWaiting just around the corner for all you know

Love can grow where you least expect itTake and chance and don’t reject it

Love will grow if one just lets itLet love grow

I know you, have feelings for me tooBut you’re afraid to try love again

VIOLETI know your heart is true

But this is all so new, I wonder what I’ll do

JOE & VIOLETIf I would let you in

JOEIt’s a chance that’s worth the taking

Love is out there for the makingFind it in the eyes of someone that you know

In any colour, shape or fashionThere is no denying passionLove is always everlasting

Let love grow, yeah

JOE & VIOLETLove can fill the empty spaces

Dry our tears and all their tracesMend our broken hearts and heal our souls

JOEHindsight’s always out to blind you

VIOLETLook ahead

JOE & VIOLETAnd not behind you

Look for love and let it find youLet love grow

JOELove will grow if one just lets it

JOE & VIOLETLet love growLet love grow

Get Out and Stay Out

JUDYWell, it’s funny how you waltzed in here, assuming I’d come back

Well let me tell you something, you are way off trackCan’t you see I’m different, or are you still that blind?

No – you stand right there and take it, there’s no love to hide behindWell, I am proud to tell you I’m really feeling good

I’m doing so much better than you ever thought I wouldGot my own place, my own space, to think and dream and plan

It took me this long to realize I do not need a man

I used to need you, then I finally learnedI used to want you, now the tables turned

I used to love you, now it’s your time to squirm‘Cause I’m saying goodbye and I won’t wait for your return

So get out and stay out, I’ve finally had enoughDon’t kiss me on your way out, it wouldn’t move me much

You used me, abused me, you cheated and you liedSo get out and stay out, I’m taking back my life

I wonder what you’ll do when I am not aroundNow that your new love has up and let you down

You’ve always come crying to me throughout the yearsTo mend another broken heart, to dry your selfish tears

So get out and stay out, I’m moving on at lastOh, I’ve been so foolish, but that was in the past

I never thought I’d be the one to say goodbyeYou get out and stay out, I’m taking back my life

Dreams and plans are in the makingSuccess is out there for the takingWish it was as simple as it sounds

I have no choice, I have to do itFace the future, walk into it

Now that I’m unfettered and unbound

Get out and stay out, I’ve finally had enoughDon’t kiss me on your way out, it wouldn’t move me much

You used me, abused me, you cheated and you liedSo get out and stay out, I’m taking back my life

My life
