"9 to 5" (or "Morning Train") is a song by Scottish singer Sheena Easton from her 1981 album Take My Time. It was written by Florrie Palmer and recorded and released as a single in 1980, becoming Easton's biggest hit. It peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart in August 1980 and was certified gold. In February 1981, it was released in the United States and Canada under the title "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" to avoid confusion with Dolly Parton's recent hit "9 to 5". It reached number one in both countries, becoming Easton's only chart-topper in those nations.
