"Five O'Clock World" is a 1965 single by The Vogues. It reached #4 in the charts, and is one of The Vogues' best-known hits along with "You're the One". The song is sung from the point of view of an urban worker who does not enjoy his job, but looks forward every day to 5:00 P.M., the time at which he goes home to see his girlfriend (or wife).

Country singer Hal Ketchum covered the song on his 1991 album Past the Point of Rescue and released it as a single. The song peaked at #16 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 1992.

"Five O'Clock World" was used in the soundtrack to the 1987 movie Good Morning Vietnam.^[1]

The Drew Carey Show used "Five O'Clock World" as its opening theme song during several seasons.
