[Verse 1]
G Now let me tell you a story C 'bout a woman named Susie G D7 Who applied for a job one day G They tested her for typing C for shorthand and speed writing G D7 G And they gave her the lowest pay
[Chorus]
G We type and file nine to five, G7 D G yet we barely stay alive, D7 Working from day to day. G G7 Well we've done a day's work C in the offices of Boston G D7 G and it's time we got a day's pay.
[Verse 2]
G Well then Susie did the filing C And she kept the correspondence G D7 And she answered the telephone; G G7 Though the boss might be a doubter C Still he couldn't do without her, G D7 G Wouldn't even call a taxi on his own.
[Chorus]
G We type and file nine to five, G7 D G yet we barely stay alive, D7 Working from day to day. G G7 Well we've done a day's work C in the offices of Boston G D7 G and it's time we got a day's pay.
[Verse 3]
G Susie looked for a promotion C And she sure caused a commotion G D7 He just looked at her in disbelief. G G7 But the raises they've been giving C Sure don't match the cost of living G D7 G Though the boss is still eating beef.
[Chorus]
G We type and file nine to five, G7 D G yet we barely stay alive, D7 Working from day to day. G G7 Well we've done a day's work C in the offices of Boston G D7 G and it's time we got a day's pay.
[Verse 4]
G So Susie got together C All the women in the office G D7 And they started to organize; G G7 If you thought women wouldn't fight C For a basic worker's right, G D7 G Then you're in for a big surprise!
[Chorus]
G We type and file nine to five, G7 D G yet we barely stay alive, D7 Working from day to day. G G7 Well we've done a day's work C in the offices of Boston G D7 G and it's time we got a day's pay.
[Verse 5]
G Now you women of Boston, C Don't you think it is a crime G D7 That we suffer while employers thrive G G7 C Women's work is never done, fighting back has just begun! G D7 G For a better life from nine to five.
[Chorus]
G We type and file nine to five, G7 D G yet we barely stay alive, D7 Working from day to day. G G7 Well we've done a day's work C in the offices of Boston G D7 G and it's time we got a day's pay.
