[Musical Intro] C Bb F C7


    C
You get up every morning
          Bb         
From your 'larm clock's warning
         F             C7
Take the 8:15 into the city
          C
There's a whistle up above
           Bb
And people pushin', people shovin'
        F                     C
And the girls who try to look pretty
            C
And if your train's on time
        Bb
You can get to work by nine
               F                       C7
And start your slaving job to get your pay
       C
If you ever get annoyed
        Bb
Look at me I'm self-employed
  F                           C7
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be



C                       Bb
Taking care of business (every day)
F                       C7
Taking care of business (every way)
C                                 Bb
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
F                           C7
Taking care of business and working overtime

Work out



[instrumental]

           C
If it were easy as fishin'
          Bb
You could be a musician
   F                             C7
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
      C
Get a second-hand guitar
        Bb
Chances are you'll go far
       F                              C7
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
       C
People see you having fun
       Bb
Just a-lying in the sun
F                               C7
Tell them that you like it this way
         C
It's the work that we avoid
          Bb
And we're all self-employed
   F                           C7
We love to work at nothing all day

And we be



C                       Bb
Taking care of business (every day)
F                       C7
Taking care of business (every way)
C                                 Bb
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
F                           C7
Taking care of business and working overtime
