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

B5                     E5  F#5
But it's not my place oh-no
No it's not my place no no
B5                    E5   F#5              E5      F#5
No it's not my-not my-not my place in the 9 to 5 world
B5                             E5    F#5
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place with 9 to 5 girl
B5               E5 F#5    E5    F#5
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...

Don't wanna be a working stiff lose my identity
           F#5       E5         F#5    E5          F#5     E5        D5
'cause when it comes to working 9 to 5 there ain't not place for me
F#5        E5   D5     C#5
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#5                    F#5 G#5
But it's not my place oh-no
No it's not my place no no
C#5                  F#5   G#5              F#5     G#5
No it's not my-not my-not my place in the 9 to 5 world
C#5                          F#5    G#5
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place with 9 to 5 girl
C#5              F#5 G#5   F#5    G#5
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
