You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
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
And if your train's on
time, you can get to
work by nine
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
And I'll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out
If it were easy as fishin' 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
People see you having
fun just a-lying 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
And we be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Mercy
Whoo
All right
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every
day
Whoo
They get up every morning from their alarm clock's warning
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
And if your train's on
time, you can get to
work by nine
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
And I be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, take care
Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business and working overtime, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
