They get up every morning
From the alarm clock´s warning
Take the 8 15 into the city
There´s a whistle up above
And people push and people shove

And all the girls
Who try to look pretty

And if your train´s on time
You can get to work by 9
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´ve been
Takin´ care of business
Every day
Takin´ care of business
Every way
I´ve been takin´ care of business
It´s all mine

Takin´ care of business
And working overtime
Workout

If things were easy as fishing
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
And 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´ve been
Takin´ care of business
Every day
Takin´ care of business
Every way
We´ve been takin´ care of business
It´s all right
Takin´ care of business
And working overtime

Take good care of my business
When I´m away
Everyday

They get up every morning from the alarm clock´s warning

Take the eight-fifteen into the city
There´s a whistle up above and people push and people shove
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

They get up every morning
From the alarm clock´s warning
Take the 8 15 into the city
There´s a whistle up above
And people push and people shove
And all the girls
Who try to look pretty

And if your train´s on time
You can get to work by 9
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´ve been
Takin´ care of business
Every day
Takin´ care of business
Every way
I´ve been takin´ care of business
It´s all mine
Takin´ 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
Every day
Takin´ care of business
Every way
Takin´ care of business
It´s all mine
Takin´ care of business
And working overtime
Takin´ care of business
