Takin' Care Of Business (Live At Budokan, Tokyo / 1976)

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)

We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)

Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy

Whoo

All right

Take good care of my business

When I'm away, every day

Whoo

They get up every morning from their 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 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 care

Takin' care of business, whoo

Takin' care of business
