9 To 5 ft. The Ordinary Boys Lyrics
I wake up late every morning
Managers calling, I’m still yawning
Get up wake up hair and makeups
Waiting for you don’t be stalling
This performance is important
I don’t think I can put my all in
Hold on I was drunk last night
Now its all kicking in and I don’t feel right
Gave my number to a breh who wasn’t my type
Now my phones on silent, I'm being polite
Private callers get no love from me
Just let me be…
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
So you gotta do some idents for channel U
Channel who? Sorry who im haltered for a snooze
Oh! Channel U da ones that made me huge
Like Katie Prices boobs.
Whoops! I'm being rude
Wheres my red bull and my sandwich? I need food!
I cant handle this,
Im getting pissed like pampers throwing a tantrum
“Action”
Nah, I'd actually rather catch my Z’s and count sheep in my sleep
(Lets not wake her up, she actually looks quite sweet)
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
I'm not sure what day just started,
Since my working week departed,
Ever since I single-charted,
This pursuit's been everlasting.
I clocked in about a year ago,
And I haven't clocked out from the studio,
Videos of TV shows, and staring at the window on the road.
Although sometimes we don't get paid for these rampages on these stages,
I know that I won't get jaded, I won't go back to the minimum wage
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
La, la, la, la....
Managers calling, I’m still yawning
Get up wake up hair and makeups
Waiting for you don’t be stalling
This performance is important
I don’t think I can put my all in
Now its all kicking in and I don’t feel right

Now my phones on silent, I'm being polite

Oh even better than the original of " LADY " solo. Now we pair up the most arrogant twat to emerge from music ever with the leader of the chavs. [Both descriptions are inter-changable for both personalities by the way] Both artists have brought their unique style to this song lady's usual arrogant, cockey drone with whats his name's need to sing through his nose. So to simplify for any confused chavs reading this yes i am insulting your gods' work, i'll give it a number of days for you to rack your brain for some saught of petty insult to attempt to unsuccessfully fire at me, not that i expect a response seen as no one has commented on this yet.
...Just, out of curiosity. Is it really not possible for a person to enjoy deep, meaningful songs and also be able to enjoy rather practical acts like Lady Sovereign? Ugh. It's like the whole 'you're either with the blacks or the whites and there's no fucking in-between lest you want your head cut off' phase all over again. Just let me enjoy whatever the hell I would like and don't judge me for it, you've got the choice not to listen to it anyway. I actually -like- the novelty value of Lady's accent and 'i could care less' kind of attitude, it's funny to me.
Hmmm another chav hater. Kind of annoys me you know, i come from a council estate and i wear tracksuits big ear rings etc. If you got to know me though you would realise i hate chav music and underclass who damage property ETC. Just because i dress like this i get labelled a 'CHAV' and people think i want to cause trouble and i sleep around. Its pathetic, never judge a book by it's cover. I normally hate rap but Lady Sovereign is cool, Preston on the other hand is a NIT. No need to slag Lady S down for all you know she could be a lovely person.
I to live on a council estate indieandrockfan. When i use the term chav why do you like most of society automatically only see the exterior traits i.e. clothing, postcode and accent as being the hallmarks of a chav. i do not see these as the defining articles of a chav. I prefer to analyse personality, intentions, and demeanour before i label. And i'm afraid to say lady meets this criteria.
While that may or may not be true (Prolly is.) I still like the song.

claps Well said! I'm one of those in-between people! I love her attitude and voice... I think she's actually quite pretty too, in a slightly chavvy way.
dean... "i do not see these as the defining articles of a chav. I prefer to analyse personality, intentions, and demeanour before i label. And i'm afraid to say lady meets this criteria."
because you know lady soveriegn personally so well?
It is possible. Sometimes I feel like a meaningless and catchy song like Britney, Lady Sov or The Veronicas. And sometimes I like to listen to something with meaning like Death Cab or The Cure.
