Bachman Turner Overdrive - Takin' Care Of Business lyrics

rate me

We get up every morning

for the long hot warning.

Take the 8:15 into the city

There's a whistle up above

People pushing, people shoving

and the girls, are trying to look pretty.

And if your train's on time

you can get to work by 9:00.

Start your stinking job to get your pay.

If you ever get annoyed

you can be self-employed.

I love to work at nothing all day.

[chorus]

And I've been taking care of business

every day, every way

Taking care of business

every way.

I've been taking care of business

it's all mine.

Taking care of business

and working overtime.

Its an easy transition

to be a musician

If you can make a sound

kind of mellow.

Get a second-hand guitar

Chances are you'll go far

If you hang out

with the right kind of fellows.

People see you having fun

just 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.

[chorus]
