My mom and dad are always fighting

And it's getting very unexciting

To get a good job

You need a proper schooling

Now who the hell

Do ya think you're fooling



But it's not my place oh no

No it's not my place no no

No it's not my not my not my place

In the 9 to 5 world

And it's not my place

In the 9 to 5 world



And it's not my place

with 9 to 5 girl

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 my place



Don't wanna be a working stiff

Lose my identity

'Cause when it comes

To working 9 to 5

There ain't not place for me

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

But it's not my place
