About

The song is about Crimp complaining about how Velvet and Veneer are always unappreciative of her work, before her rant gets cut off.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Crimp, what are you doin'? Why are you always hoverin'?
Uh, I'm standin'?
Well, be a good little assistant and go stand in the corner
Oh, yes, um
Oh, dear, I think this is kind of a corner?
Okay, I cannot with her
It's really too much

[Verse]
Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
With 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 lеt it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would dеserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss don't seem to let me
Sometimes, I swear, I swear they're out to get me

Original Songs

• "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton

Trivia

• This is so far the only song Crimp has sung in the movie.
  • Also, Crimp never got to sing the full version of this song, as Veneer whined at her for accidentally hurting his fingernails, which interrupted the song.
    • The song's last verse is also a foreshadowing of Crimp later being thrown into the closet by Velvet for a huge portion of the movie, after showing off the shoulder pads.
• The song is about fair pay and treatment - which is a reference to Crimp's employment under Velvet and Veneer.
• Crimp slept in a different bed in the original sequence for this song.
