Dolly Parton Really Does “Tumble Out Of Bed”
October 9, 2020 11:00 amDolly Parton’s “9 to 5” has one of the most memorable opening lyrics ever written.
In case you somehow don’t know it, it’s “Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition.”
If you’ve seen the “9 to 5” movie, you know that it sets up the whole story, but it also sets up Dolly’s real-life daily routine.
“Wired” had her answer some of the Internet’s most searched questions about herself. One of them was, “Does she drink coffee.”
“Yes, I do. I like to get up in the morning ‘Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen and pour myself a cup of ambition.’ And usually that ambition is a cup of coffee. I’m good with a cup and half of coffee every morning.”
Somebody else asked if she can yodel, and she launched right into the classic “Yodel-Odel-Ay-Hee-Hoo.”
