Lyrics:

I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see?
I gotta make it for you, and I've gotta make it for me!
Oh, sometimes it may seem, girl, I'm neglecting you --
I'd love to spend more time --
But I got so many things to do --

Oh, I got work to do (I got work to do)
I got work, baby! (I got work to do)
I got a job, baby! (I got work to do)
Said, I got work to do! (I got work to do)

Well, I'm out here trying to make it, baby can't you see?
It takes a lot of money to make, it let's talk truthfully!
So keep your love lights burning --
And a little food hot in my plate --
You might as well get used to me coming home a little late --

Oh, I - I got work to do,
I got a job, (I got work to do)
I got work to do (I got work to do)
I got work to do (I got work to do)

Whaaaaa Ha Ha!

(Background singing: Da=Do Do-Do Do-Do
Da-Do Do-Do Doo-Da-Do Da-Do-Da-Do Da-Do Doo-Doo 3x)

I'm taking care of business
Woman, can't you see?
I gotta make it for you, I gotta make it for me!
Don't wanna make you feel I'm neglecting you --
I'd love to spend more time, oh
Oh, but I got so many things to do!

Oh, I - I got work to do
I've got work, baby! (I got work to do)
I've got a job, baby! (I got work to do)
Well, I've got work to do! (I got work to do)
Everybody's got work to do! (I got work to do)

Whoooo Hoo Hoo!

(With background singing: Da=Do Do-Do Do-Do
Da-Do Do-Do Doo-Da-Do Da-Do-Da-Do Da-Do Doo-Doo reoeatedly until song's end)
Oh, I so much work, baby!
Oh, I got work!
Oh, so much work, baby!
Whaaaah Ha Ha!
Oh, I got work to do!
Oh, I got work,
Oh, I got work, baby!
