"Let Love Grow" from "Nine to Five"

JOE
Love can grow in the strangest places,
Might find love in strangers faces.
Waiting just around the corner for all you know.

Love can grow where you least expect it,
take and chance and don't reject it.
Love will grow if one just lets it,
let love grow.

I know you, have feelings for me too
but you're afraid to try love again.

VIOLET
I know your heart is true
but this is all so new.
I wonder what i'll do,

BOTH
if I would let you in.

JOE
It's a chance that's worth the taking.
Love is always out there for the making.
Find it in the eyes of someone that you know.

In any color, shape or fashion
there is no denying passsion.
Love is always everlasting,
let love grow.
Yeah

BOTH
Love can fill the empty spaces,
dry our tears and all their traces,
mend our broken hearts and heal our souls.

JOE
Hindsights always out to blind you.

VIOLET
Look ahead

BOTH
and not behind you.
Look for love and let it find you,
let love grow..

JOE
Love will grow if one just lets it,

BOTH
Let love grow.
Let love grow..

"I Just Might" from " Nine to Five"

JUDY
What to do and where to start,
Things are falling all apart,
Trying hard to move ahead,
But keep losing ground instead.

Still, I have to take a chance,
Putting fear and doubt aside,
Had no warning in advance,
Nothing left to do but try.

And I just might make it work,
I just might make it after all,
I just might rise above the hurt,
Though I've suffered quite a fall.

But I have to get a grip,
Hold onto it like a vice,
Have to face the fallen chips,
I just might make it,
I just might.

DORALEE
You're the one that keeps me strong,
You're the shoulder that I lean on.

VIOLET
Hard to swallow pride...

DORALEE
When I think I've had enough,
I think of you and toughen up.

VIOLET
I know the truth inside.

DORALEE
Love's a weapon and tool.
And I am nobody's fool.

VIOLET
I'm nobody's fool.

DORALEE
I just try to right what's wrong,

VIOLET & DORALEE
And just keep on keeping on.

DORALEE
But I just might make it work.

JUDY
I just might...

VIOLET: I just might...

DORALEE
I just might make it after all.

JUDY & VIOLET
I just might make it.

JUDY
I just might rise above the hurt,
Though I've suffered quite a fall.

VIOLET
Though I've suffered...

DORALEE
Though I've suffered...
I just might live to see the day...

VIOLET
I can say "Hey! I'm all right"

JUDY & DORALEE
All right...

VIOLET
I'm all right.

JUDY & DORALEE
All right...

JUDY
Have to go on either way.

DORALEE & VIOLET
Have to go on...

JUDY
Rise above it.

JUDY, DORALEE, & VIOLET
I just might be stronger than I know,
Well I might really be surprised,

JUDY
Gonna get on with my life.

DORALEE & VIOLET
And be strong.

JUDY
I just might make it,
I just might.

DORALEE
Just might make it.

VIOLET
I just might!

JUDY, DORALEE, & VIOLET
I just might.

JUDY
I just might make it,
I just might...

DORALEE
Just might make it...

VIOLET
Just might make it...

"Nine to Five" from "Nine to Five"

MAN
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen

WOMAN
Pour myself a cup of ambition

ALL
Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life

MEN
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'

WOMEN
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'

ALL
And folks like me on the job from nine to five.

Workin' nine to five
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
Oh, oh, oh

VIOLET
My two lives have got me hoppin’
Dawn to midnight there’s no stoppin’
Don’t know which I’m motherin’ the most
Pack his lunch and kiss my son
And grab my purse and I keep runnin’
Got so much on my plate, I could choke.

VIOLET W/ ENSEMBLE
Working Nine to five,
for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

MEN
Nine to Five

WOMEN
Nine to Five

DORALEE
They let you dream
Just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away

DWAYNE
You’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in

DORALEE & DWAYNE
The tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

DORALEE & DWAYNE
Nine to Five (Nine to Five)

DWAYNE
As long as we’re together
You know

DORALEE and DWAYNE
You and I

DWAYNE
Will make it through whatever

DORALEE
They can’t keep us down
We’ll just rise above it

DORALEE & DWAYNE
You hold on to me
We’ll tell them where to shove it.

ALL
Nine to Five you can loose your mind
Get up and work, get up and work
Nine to Five you can loose your mind (Nine to Five)
Workin Nine to Five
Nine to Five you can loose your mind
Nine to Five
It’s enough to drive you crazy
It’s enough to drive you crazy
It’s enough to drive you crazy
It’s enough to drive you
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough to drive you
Get up and work, get up and work
Nine to five
Nine to…

JUDY
Dreams and plans are in the making (Five)
Success is out there for the taking
Wish it was as simple as it sounds (Simple as it sounds)
I swear to you I’m gonna do it
Grit my teeth and I’ll get through it (ooo)
Its hard to see the upside when you’re down

JUDY W/ ENSEMBLE
Working Nine to Five
It became necessary
When my husband Dick (Dick)
Left me for his secretary
Never worked before
But somehow I’ve gotta make it
Til I learn the ropes
I guess I just have to fake it.

ALL
Get up and work get up and work, workin’

VIOLET, DORALEE, JUDY W/ ENSEMBLE
Nine to Five
So many of us do it
But we know inside
We’re gunna make it through it.
But there’s a brighter day
And we’ll keep looking toward it
And we’ll find that dream
Soon as we can just afford it

Nine to five (Lose your mind/Woah oh oh oh)
Workin’ nine to five (Get up and work, get up and work)
Nine to five (Woah oh oh oh)
Workin’ Nine to five (Nine to Five)
Nine to five (Lose your mind)
Nine to five

It’s Enough
It’s Enough
It’s Enough

VIOLET
I deserve a fat promotion

JUDY
Hard to see the upside (Nine to five)

DORALEE
Tide’s gunna turn

ALL
Workin’ Nine to Five
