[Verse 1]
You get up eve
ry morning fro
m alarm clock'
s warning
Take the 8:15
into the city
There's a whis
tle up above a
nd people push
ing, people sh
oving
And the girls
who try to loo
k pretty
And if your tr
ain's on time,
you can get t
o work by nine
And start your
slavin' jobs
and get your p
ay
If you ever ge
t annoyed, loo
k at me, I'm
self-employed
I love to work
at nothing al
l day
[Chorus]
And I've been
takin' care of
business, eve
ry day
Takin' care of
business, eve
ry way
I've been taki
n' care of bus
iness, it's al
l mine
Takin' care of
business and
working overti
me, work out..

[Verse 2]
If it were eas
y as fishing,
you could be a
musician
If you could m
ake sounds lou
d or mellow
Get a secondha
nd guitar, cha
nces are you'l
l go far
If you get in
with the right
bunch of fell
ows
People see you
having fun ju
st a-lying in
the sun
You tell them
that you like
it this way
It's the work
that we avoid
and we're all
self-employed
We love to wor
k at nothing a
ll day
[Chorus]
And I've been
takin' care of
business, eve
ry day
Takin' care of
business, eve
ry way
I've been taki
n' care of bus
iness, it's al
l mine
Takin' care of
business and
working overti
me, work out..
