Lyrics:

C Bb F C7


[Verse 1]

C
You get up every morning
Bb
From your 'larm clock's warning
F C7
Take the 8:15 into the city
C
There's a whistle up above
Bb
And people pushin', people shovin'
F C
And the girls who try to look pretty
C
And if your train's on time
Bb
You can get to work by nine
F C7
And start your slaving job to get your pay
C
If you ever get annoyed
Bb
Look at me I'm self-employed
F C7
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be


[Chorus]

C Bb
Taking care of business (every day)
F C7
Taking care of business (every way)
C Bb
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
F C7
Taking care of business and working overtime

Work out

[Instrumental]


[Verse 2]

C
If it were easy as fishin'
Bb
You could be a musician
F C7
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
C
Get a second-hand guitar
Bb
Chances are you'll go far
F C7
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
C
People see you having fun
Bb
Just a-lying in the sun
F C7
Tell them that you like it this way
C
It's the work that we avoid
Bb
And we're all self-employed
F C7
We love to work at nothing all day

And we be


[Chorus]

C Bb
Taking care of business (every day)
F C7
Taking care of business (every way)
C Bb
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
F C7
Taking care of business and working overtime
