Lyrics:

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 pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
For 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, hmmm

Oooooh

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

In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll you away

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make 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 were they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?

It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet

9 to 5
Oh, 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

i only watched like 3 festivids this year, but this was one of them and it's FANTASTIC. i've never played the game and i actually don't remember much about star wars generally, but the lego communicates everything and the music is just--perfect. one of those song choices that just makes you jump up and down and point wildly at it with glee. and the whole thing is just inspired. those poor little lego :DDD

Aww, yay buddy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I find the Lego guys pretty expressive myself :)

The song choice is all

thingswithwings though - I asked her for the songs she rejected making "Working for a Living."

I'd really like to watch this, but youtube is blocked for me and the mediafire link says permission denied...

Argh, sorry about that! The mediafire link works for me, but they've been frustratingly inconsistent lately. Here's a sendspace alternative; if that doesn't work please let me know!

The link worked perfectly, thank you!

And wow, what a wonderful and delightful vid! So cute and funny and I love the Darth Vader boss part :)

Thanks for the Sendspace link, Mediafire didn't work for me, either. Your vid is awesome!

Thanks for letting me know - mediafire seems to be weird for a lot of people lately! And thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE COMMENTS ON THIS?????????????

I think this is the most brilliant fanvid I've seen since the Angel vid to West Hollywood Lifestyle (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kanEF17a0cM). You are a freaking genius. I've never seen the lego video game before, who cares???? You're so talented.

Thanks so much!

That was super fun :D

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I just watched this with my friend

lalaith to brighten our lunchbreak and she said it was, and I quote, "one of the greatest vids ever made." This truly says something universal about humanity (legomanity)? And clones. It's beautiful.
