You get up every morning
From your alarm clock’s warning
Take the 8:15 into the City
There’s a whistle up above
People pushin’, people shovin’
And the girls who will try to look pretty
And the 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
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 laying 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’ll be

Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
Taking care of business, it’s all mine
Taking care of business
and working overtime
Work out

Oh yeah, come on everybody
Oh yeah
I’m working overtime
Oh yeah

I’ll be taking care of
business every day
Taking care of business every way
Taking care of business, it’s all mine
Taking care of business
and working overtime

I’m taking care of
business every day
Taking care of business every way
Taking care of business, it’s all mine
Taking care of business
