1. You get up every morning
from your alarm clock’s warning,
F C
take the 8:15
into the city.
C Bb
There’s a whistle
up above, and people pushing, people shoving,
F C
and
the girls who try to look pretty.
C Bb
And if your train’s on time,
you can get to work by nine,
F C
and start your slaving job to get your pay.
C Bb
If you ever get
annoyed, look at me, I’m self-employed,
F C
I love to work at
nothing all day.
C - Bb
And I’ll be taking care of business, every day,
F - C
taking care of business, every way.
C - Bb
I’ve been taking care of business, it’s all mine,
F
C
taking care of business and working
overtime, work out !

2. If it were easy as fishing, you could be a musician,
F C
if you could make sounds loud or mellow.
C Bb
Get a second-hand
guitar, chances are you’ll go far,
F
C
if
you get in with the right bunch of fellows.
C
Bb
People see you having fun just
a-lying in the sun,
F C
tell
them that you like it this way.
C
Bb
It’s the work
that we avoid, and we’re all self-employed,
F C
we
love to work at nothing all day.
C - Bb
And we’ll be taking care of business, every day,
F - C
taking care of business, every way.
C - Bb
We’ve been taking care of business, it’s all mine,
F C
taking care of business and working
overtime.
