Lyrics Takin' Care of Business - Randy Bachman

Get up in the morning
From the alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 to the city
There's a whistle up above
And people push and people shove
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've been taking care of business everyday
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business, and I've been working overtime, look out

There's work easy as fishing
You can be a musician
If you can make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you can get in with the right bunch 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 just love to work at nothing all day

And we've been taking care of business everyday
Taking care of business every way
We've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business, and we've been working overtime, look out

Get up in the morning
From the alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 to the city
There's a whistle up above
And people push and people shove
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
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've been taking care of business everyday
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business, and working overtime, okay

Rock it
Taking care of business
Taking care of business
Taking care of business
Taking care of business, one more time
Taking care of business, it's easy
Taking care of business, you can believe in
Taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business, and working overtime
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
