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
