My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very un-exciting
To get a good job you need a proper schooling
Now who the hell do ya think you're fooling


   B                     E  F#
   But it's not my place oh-no
   No it's not my place no no
   B                    E   F#              E      F#
   No it's not my-not my-not my place in the 9 to 5 world
   B                             E    F#
   And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
   And it's not my place with 9 to 5 girl
   B               E F#    E    F#
   It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world


Hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

   But it's not...

            F#     E   F#      E         F#    E     D
      Don't wanna be a working stiff lose my identity
                  F#       E         F#    E          F#     E        D
      'cause when it comes to working 9 to 5 there ain't not place for me
      F#        E   D     C#
      Ain't my reality to me

   Vin Scelsa's on the radio
   Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
   Roger Corman's on a talk show
   With Allan Arkush and Stephen King you know


      C#                    F# G#
      But it's not my place oh-no
      No it's not my place no no
      C#                  F#   G#              F#     G#
      No it's not my-not my-not my place in the 9 to 5 world
      C#                          F#    G#
      And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
      And it's not my place with 9 to 5 girl
      C#              F# G#   F#    G#
      It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
