Gm                         Cm   Dm
                     Girl,
Gm
Tonight we're gonna make love
        Gm
You know how I know?     Beacuse it's Wednesday,
                                   Gm               Cm   Dm
And Wednesday night is night that we usually make love.

        Gm
Monday night is my night to cook
                Gm
Tuesday night we go and visit your mother, 
            Gm                                      Cm   Dm
But Wednesday we make, sweet weekly love.


Gm 
     That's when everything is just right
Gm
     There's nothing good on TV
Gm
     You haven't had your after-work social sports team practice

So you are not too tired
Gm
     Oh, boy, it's all on
Gm
     You lean in and whisper something sexy in my ear like,
                                 Gm
"I might go to bed now. I have work in the morning."
Gm
     I know what you're trying to say, girl
                      Cm      Cm  Dm        Gm
You're trying to say, "Oh yeah,        It's business time,
    Gm             G
It's business time."

[CHORUS]
Cm
     It's business,
Dm                        Gm
     It's business time.     I know what you're trying to say.
                  Gm
You're trying to say it's time for business. It's business time, ooh
Cm
     It's business,
Dm                     Gm        Gm6
     It's business time.


Gm
     Then we're in the bathroom brushing our teeth 
      Gm                                           Cm   Dm   Gm
That's all part of the foreplay, I love foreplay
Gm
     Then you sort out the recycling 
      Gm
That isn't part of the foreplay process, but it is still very important
Gm 
     Next thing you know, we're in the bedroom.
       Gm 
You're wearing that baggy old ugly T-Shirt
    Gm 
you got from your work several years ago
Gm
     Mm, you know the one, baby, with the color stain.

Gm
     I remove my clothes very, very clumsily,
Gm
     Tripping sensuosly over my pants
Gm
Now I'm naked except for my socks
                                 Gm
And you know when I'm down to my socks    what time it is.

[CHORUS]
Cm
     It's business,
Dm                        Gm 
     It's business time,     You know when I'm down to my sock,
              Gm
It's time for business. That's why they're called business socks, ooh
Cm
     It's business, 
Dm                      Gm      Gm6
     It's business time.


Gm                         Gm
     Making love,          Making love for
Gm                         Gm
     Making love for two,  Making love for two minutes
Gm
     When it's with me girl, you only need two minutes,
            Gm
Because I'm so intense
     Gm
You whisper something sexy like: "Is that it?",
Gm
     I know what you're trying to say, girl
Gm
     You're trying to say, "Oh yeah, that's it"
Gm
     And then you tell me you want some more.
      Gm
Well, uh, I'm not surprise       but I'm quite sleepy.

[CHORUS]
Cm
     It's business, 
Dm                     Gm
     It's business time.
                       Gm
Business hours are over, baby
Cm
     It's business, 
Dm                     Gm      Gm6      Cm       Dm
     It's business.   
Gm                             Cm       Dm       Gm
