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 pushing, people shoving,

and the girls who try to look pretty.

And if your traings 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.

Work out!

If it were easy as fishing,

you could be a musician

if you could make sounds loud or mellow.

Get a secondhand 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.

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 work at nothing all day.

And we be taking care of business, every day.

Taking care of business, every way.

We be taking care of business, it's all mine.

Taking care of business and working overtime.

Whoo!

All right!

Take good care of my business

when I'm away, every day.

Whoo!
