The virtuosity of Dolly Parton’s voice is used to the fullest in this song with a lot of lyrics packed into each musical phrase. These kind of ‘pianoman’ style songs are always a hit, when the common worker whose job relies on the 9 to 5 scheme dreams about a better life for himself. The mundane tasks of the world can at least escape their dullness by listening to fun songs like “Here You Come Again” written and sung by Dolly Parton. Fantasize all you want, and have a bigger blast by learning all the lyrics that go with this super country music hit:

“Tumble out of bed and 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 pumping
Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from nine to five…”

The song “Nine to Five” by Dolly Parton was also turned into a successful movie “Nine to Five” which added an extra theme of the liberation of women in the workplace.

The melody is do darn packed with lyrics and the song is full of notes in general, that ideally you can use a third hand or second piano to fill in the harmony while your two hands are dealing with the bass and melody notes.

In performing “Nine to Five” piano sheet music, your left hand can really jam away by repeating a bass note many times throughout the entire bar. The melody has quite a wide range going up and down (a common trend in many Dolly Parton songs, hmm) so have fun exploring an entire octave – plus beyond!

Tip: If you really want to make it sound authentic get somebody to type on a typewriter while you’re playing the opening!
