10-4 over and out
the way we talk sometimes you’d think our love is filled with doubt
but when we’re all alone by the fireside of our home
the angry words we spoke that day have forever gone away
then it’s love we talk about to the world outside we say
10-4 over and out

but seems like there’s a little turbulence on the line

everybody in the country knows what we’re talkin’ about too
they listen in on us i know i know
well the two new people that’s moved to the middle of the block
and we’re at the top of the town and don’t you think we’re not
well we found love and happiness people envy us you see
for we found heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33
yes we found what most people are looking for
and it’s not a lotta money to spend on real fine car
but it’s so when and where a bird flies and sings so free
and there’s whole lotta winds in this little house at 4-0-33
four thousandth block proves what true love can do
once a lonely place but was sold to me and you
oh all around the house you can see little children play
but they’re not as a people’s kids were proud to say
they are the symbol of our love for all the world to see
they’re a part of heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33
[ steel ]
our love’s on the day you can see many people drive by
for look at the house they think there from the sky
they think this place would make them as happy as you and me
and the whole town’s tryin’ to buy our house at 4-0-33
four thousandth block proves…
and we’re not gonna sale our happy little house at 4-0-33
wouldn’t take a pretty thing for the love we had at 4-0-33
tumble out of bed
and stumble to the kitchen
pour myself a cup of ambition
and yawn and strtch and try to come to life
jump in the shower
and the blood starts pumpin’
out on the streets
the traffic starts jumpin’
with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
chorus:
workin’ 9 to 5
what a way to make a livin’
barely gettin’ by
it’s all takin’
and no givin’
they just use your mind
and they never give you credit
it’s enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
you would think that i
would deserve a fair promotion
want to move ahead
but the boss won’t seem to let me in
i swear sometimes that man is out to get me
mmmmm…
they let your dream
just to watch them shatter
you’re just a step
on the boss man’s ladder
but you got dream he’ll never take away
in the same boat
as a lot of your friends
waitin’ for the day
your ship’ll come in
and the tide’s gonna turn
an’ it’s all gonna roll you away
2nd chorus:
workin’ 9 to 5
what a way to make a livin’
barely gettin’ by
it’s all takin’
and no givin’
they just use your mind
and you never get the credit
it’s enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
there’s a better life
and you think that i would don’t you
it’s a rich man’s game
no matter what they call it
and you spend your life
putting money in his pocket
3rd chorus:
workin’ 9 to 5
what a way to make a livin’
barely gettin’ by
it’s all takin’
and no givin’
they just use you mind
and they never give you credit
it’s enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
fade:
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
there’s a better life
and you dream that i would don’t you
it’s a rich man’s game
no matter what they call it
and you spend your life
putting money in his wallet
there’s a bit of magic in a simple little smile
something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile
and there’s a world of meaning in the touch of someone’s hand
a gentle touch that let’s your brother know you understand
oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give
we could make the world we’re living in a better place to live
la la la la la la la la la la la la
and if we’d love one another instead of finding faults
we could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
oh wouldn’t it be great to live and sing in harmony
everybody take your brother’s hand and sing my song with me
la la la la la la la la la la la la
all life has to offer that’s what most folks desire
but offer nothing in return, cause they don’t seem to care
and if we’d ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive
we could make the world we’re living in a better place to live
and if we’d all climb together, we could climb the highest hill
we could make the world we’re living in a better place to live
and if we’d love one another instead of finding faults
we could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
oh wouldn’t it be great to live and sing in harmony
everybody take your brother’s hand and sing my song with me
la la la la la la la la la la la la
you’ve made this a christmas to remember
springtime feelin’s in the middle of december
strangers meet and they willingly surrender
oh! what a christmas to remember
almost went to aspen but something told me no
i considered mammoth but there wasn’t enough snow
and i even thought of gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
so i headed up to tahoe for a christmas on the slopes
and i had fantasized about christmas in this way
curled up by a fireplace in a tahoe ski chalet
with a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood
but even in my wildest dreams it never got this good and
you’ve made this a christmas to remember
springtime feelin’s in the middle of december
change the radio and i’ll turn the lights down dimmer
oh! what a christmas to remember
strangers when we met, lovers as we leave
christmas to remember, too good to believe
don’t know how or when, but i know we’ll meet again
we’ll come blowin’ back to somewhere like some wild restless winter’s wind
and you’ve made this a christmas to remember
springtime feelin’s in the middle of december
neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
oh! what a christmas to remember
we loved and laughed and played and joked
sang christmas songs and talked to folks
sleighed the fields and skied the slopes
then to the lodge for dinner
but now it’s time for us to go
as our hearts melt like chimney snow
there’s just one thing i want to know
can we do this next winter
oh! what a christmas to remember
you’ve made this a christmas to remember
springtime feelin’s in the middle of december
though the fire is hot, we’ll just have to let it simmer
oh! what a christmas to remember
you’ve made this a christmas to remember
springtime feelin’s in the middle of december
though it’s cold outside we’ll just stroke the burning embers
oh! what a christmas to remember
