Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warnin'
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above, and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
[Verse 2]
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by 9
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
[Chorus]
And I've been takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business every way
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business and workin' overtime, work out
[Verse 3]
If it were easy as fishing, you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are, you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
[Verse 4]
People see you havin' fun, just a-lyin' in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid, and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
[Chorus]
And we've been takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business every way
We've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business and workin' overtime
Funky
[Bridge]
Woo, alright, ow, yeah
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day, woo
[Verse 5]
They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warnin'
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above, and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
[Verse 6]
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by 9
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
[Chorus]
And I've been takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business every way
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business and workin' overtime, take care
[Outro]
Takin' care of business, woo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business, yeah
Takin' care of business
[Outro]
Takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business every way
Takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business, workin' overtime, woo
[Outro]
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We've been takin' care of business
We've been takin' care of business, woo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
