Five O'Clock World
Hey, hey
Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Trading my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet (yeah)
Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way
But I live for the end of the day (yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
In the shelter of her arms, everything's okay (yeah, yeah)
She talks and the world goes slipping away (it slips away)
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone (yeah, yeah, yeah)
In my five o'clock world, she waits for me
Nothing else matters at all
'Cause every time my baby smiles at me
I know that it's all worthwhile, yeah
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Trading my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet (yeah)
Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way
But I live for the end of the day (yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
In the shelter of her arms, everything's okay (yeah, yeah)
She talks and the world goes slipping away (it slips away)
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone (yeah, yeah, yeah)
In my five o'clock world, she waits for me
Nothing else matters at all
'Cause every time my baby smiles at me
I know that it's all worthwhile, yeah
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Yodel-ay-hee-hee-hee, yeah (hey, hey, hey, hey)
