Takin' Care of Business Songtext
von Bachman & Turner

You get up in the morning from alarm clock′s warning
At 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 9
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
We've been taking care of business, it′s all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it look 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 taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
Taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business
Yeah, it's alright

Clap your hands, you can come up and dance
You wanna come up here?
Last song, party time, come on
It looks like you′re singing this song

Taking care of business

Takin′ care of business every day
You are in the U.S.A
You are so fine
Keep on workin' overtime

Taking care of business
Taking care of business
Taking care of business
Takin′ care of business
One more time, we can


Takin' care of business
Takin′ care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin′ care of business
