| 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 and get your pay
|
| And if you ever get annoyed, look at me I’m self-employed
|
| I love to work at nothing all day
|
| And we’ll be taking care of business everyday
|
| Taking care of business every way
|
| I’ve been taking care of business, it’s alright
|
| 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
|
| You tell them that you like it this way
|
