Intro

C Bb F C x4

Verse 1

You get up every morning
From your 'larm 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 nothin' all day
And I'll be

Chorus

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 workin' overtime
Work out

Instrumental

C Bb F C x2

Verse 2

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 nothin' all day
And we be

Chorus

Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
We be takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business and workin' overtime

Instrumental

Verse 3

You get up every morning
From your 'larm 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 nothin' all day
And I'll be

Chorus

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 workin' overtime
(Drums only)

Chorus

Takin' care of business, whoo
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 workin' overtime
Whoooo
Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business 
We be takin' care of business 
We be takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business...
