People see you having fun, just a-lying in the sun
And start your slaving job to get your pay
Takin' care of business
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
And we be takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business every way
I love to work at nothing all day
You get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning
Takin' care of business
And start your slaving job to get your pay
And I'll be takin' care of business every day
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
Takin' care of business, it's all mine
If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
We've been takin' care of business
Takin' care of business every way
Tell them that you like it this way
Takin' care of business and working overtime
Take good care of my business
Takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
And the girls, who try to look pretty
And the girls, who try to look pretty
Takin' care of business every way
When I'm away, every day
And I'll be takin' care of business every day
Takin' care of business, working overtime
Takin' care of business and working overtime, work out
If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
Take the 8:15 into the city
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
Takin' care of business every way
We love to work at nothing all day
Takin' care of business and working overtime to get
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We've been takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-employed
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If it were easy as fishin', you could be a musician
