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 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 

I've been taking care of business, it's all mine 

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 

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 

I've been taking care of business, it's all mine 

Taking care of business and working overtime 

Take good care of my business 

When I'm away, every day whoo! 

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 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 

I've been taking care of business, it's all mine 

Taking care of business and working overtime 

Takin' care of business 

Takin' care of business 

Takin' care of business 

Takin' care of business 

Takin' care of business
