Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't
take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because
you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of
emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of
spring
Your voice is soft like summer
rain
And I cannot compete with you,
Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your
name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means
to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't
take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because
you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do,
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't
take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though
you can

9
To 5
(Dolly
Parton)
Jump on
outta bed and I stumble to the
kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to
come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood
starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic
starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from
9 to 5
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 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!
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
You're in the same boat with a
lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll
come in
'N' the tide's gonna turn and it's
all gonna roll your way
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
dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter
what they call it
And you spend your life puttin'
money in his wallet
9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a
livin'
'Stead-a 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, yeah they done got you
where they want you
There's a better life, and you
dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter
what they call it
