Paroles de Five O'Clock World

Up every mornin' just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain (yeah,yeah)

But its a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And theres a five oclock me inside my clothes
Thinkin?that the world looks fine, yeah

(SCAT: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc )

Tradin' my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I aint made yet
Ive been goin' tryin' to make my way
While I live for the end of the day (yeah, yeah)

Cuz its a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
Theres a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah

(SCAT: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc )

In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
When she talks then the world goes slippin' away Nothing else matters at all
Cuz every time my baby smiles at me
I know thats its all worthwhile, yeah

(SCAT: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc )
