This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
  Two more hours to go
  Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five
  And I ain't got nothin to show
  Pretty soon I'll be leavin'
  With the wages I'm receivin'
  But I know it's gonna be all right
  Come on, babe, and take me away
  We got some money to spend tonight
    Pick me up at the station
  Meet me at the train
  Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
  I can't afford a vacation
  But I can take the strain
  Long as I can be with you
  Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
    Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
  Two more hours to go
  Seven long years for the same corporation
  And I ain't got nothin' to show
  And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
  But I know it's gonna be all right
  I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
  We got some money to spend tonight
    Oh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'
  Everybody does their share of losin'
  If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right
    Pick me up at the station
  Meet me at the train
  Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
  I can't afford a vacation
  But I can take the strain
  Long as I can be with you
  Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
    Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
  Two more hours to go
  Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five
  And I ain't got nothin' to show
  And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
  But I know it's gonna be all right
  Come on, babe, and take me away
  We got some money to spend tonight
  Come on, babe, take me away
  We got some money to spend tonight
