About

“Nine to Five” is a retro-inspired anthem about setting boundaries between work and personal life. It celebrates the simple freedom of leaving the office behind, ignoring after-hours emails, and reclaiming your evenings for yourself. Because life is more than deadlines and paychecks, the song reminds us that your time, peace, and happiness are worth more than working one minute extra. 🎶🌅

Lyrics

Verse 1

Clock hits five and I'm out the door

Tie comes loose on the elevator ride

Desk lamp off and the badge goes in the drawer

Nothing of mine stays inside

Pre-Chorus

I don't answer no midnight mail

I don't carry the place back home

Leave the ledger and the ladder

Let the voicemail moan

Chorus

Nine to five and not a minute more

Nine to five that's the whole of my score

Punch it in punch it out

That's what the paycheck's for

Nine to five and not a minute more

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh let it ring

Oh-oh let it ring

Verse 2

Coffee's cold but my evening's warm

Bus stop brass band playing down the street

Some folks hustle for a bigger storm

I just want my shoes off my feet

Pre-Chorus

No laptop glowing on the couch

No spreadsheet running through my dreams

Shut the folder and the phone down

Let the weekend gleam

Chorus

Nine to five and not a minute more

Nine to five that's the whole of my score

Punch it in punch it out

That's what the paycheck's for

Nine to five and not a minute more

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh let it ring

Oh-oh let it ring

Bridge

I gave the morning

I gave the afternoon

The evening's mine now

Mine and the moon

Chorus

Nine to five and not a minute more

Nine to five that's the whole of my score

Punch it in punch it out

That's what the paycheck's for

Nine to five and not a minute more

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh let it ring

Oh-oh let it ring

Nine to five

Nine to five
