(Bachman-Turner Overdrive)
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...
[Refrain]
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...
[Refrain]
[Spoken] Take good care of my business
When I`m away, every day whoo!
[Repeat first 2 verses]
[Refrain]
Takin` care of business [4x]
[Refrain]
Takin` care of business [repeat, fade]
