You get up every morning From your 'larm clock's warning Take the 8:15 into the city

There's a whistle up above And people pushin', people shovin' 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

                  C                                       Bb

And I'll be Taking care of business (every day)

Taking care of business and working overtime Work out

½ verse jam

If it were easy as fishin You could be a musician If you could make sounds loud or mellow

Get a second-hand guitar, Chances are you'll go far, If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

People see you having fun Just a-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
