C Bb There's a whistle up above and people pushing, people shoving and F C the girls who try to look pretty. C Bb And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine and F C start your slaving job to get your pay. C Bb If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self employed, F C I love to work at nothing all day. [Chorus] C Bb And I'll be takin' care of business every day. F C Takin' care of business every way. C Bb I'll be takin' care of business. It's all mine! F C Takin' care of business and workin' overtime. Work out. [Lead break] C Bb F C x2 [Verse 2] C Bb It's as easy as fishing, you can be a musician, F C if you could make sounds that are mellow. C Bb Get a second hand guitar, chances are you'll go far F C if you get in with the right bunch of fellows. C Bb People see you having fun, just a lyin' in the sun, F C tell them that you like it this way. C Bb It's the work that we avoid. Hey, we're all self employeed.
