Bachman - Turner Overdrive – Takin´ Care Of Business lyrics

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]
