| 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
|

| 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 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

| 1, 2, 3, 4, And we 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
