You get up every morning

From the alarm clock′s warning

Take the eight-fifteen into the cityThere's a whistle up above

And people pushing, people shoving

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've been takin′ care of business

Every day

Takin′ care of business

Every way

I've been takin′ care of business

It's all mine

Takin′ 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′ve been takin′ care of business

Every day

Takin' care of business

Every way

We′ve been takin' care of business

It′s all mine

Takin' care of business

And working overtime

Funky

Woo, all right, oww!

I love it

Take good care of my business

When I′m away, every day

Woo

(Ha ha, whoo hoo, oh yeah)

You get up every morning

From alarm clock's warning

Take the eight-fifteen into the city

There's a whistle up above

And people pushing, people shoving

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've been taking care of business

Every day

Takin′ care of business

Every way

I've been takin′ care of business

It's all mine

Takin′ care of business

And working overtime, take care

Takin' care of business, woo

Takin' care of business

Takin′ care of business, yo

Takin′ care of business

Takin' care of business

Every day

Takin′ care of business

Every way

Takin' care of business

It′s all mine

Takin' care of business

Working overtime, woo

Takin′ care of business

Takin' care of business

We've been takin′ care of business

We′ve been takin' care of business, woo

Takin′ care of business

Takin' care of business

Takin′ care of business
