Verse 1:
E D E DUp every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
E D E DSounds of the city poundin' in my brain
E D EWhile another day goes down the drain
But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
Noone owns a piece of my time
A D A DAnd there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
A BThinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
Verse 2:
Tradin' my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way
But I live for the end of the day
Chorus 2But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
Noone owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
Verse 3:
In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
She talks and the world goes slippin' away (it slips away)
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other is gone
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 its all worthwhile, yeah
Coda: [repeat to fade]
Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
