Takin' Care of Business

"Takin' Care Of Business"-Bachman Turner Overdrive
[Musical Intro]

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
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

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
And we be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whooooo
All right

[Instrumental Interlude]

Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoooo

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
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

[Brief Instrumental Interlude]

Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business
And working overtime
Whoooo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be Takin' care of business
We be Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business

  4. I think this song really makes me think of someone who dosnt like there job and just works for pay. I think that the message of this song is that sometimes you just have to hurry.

  5. I think takin' care of buissness is a good song choice, but we already sang it in school of rock. :/ I like the song and its a really good beat. I think that we should deffenitly do this song! The only thing is the part about the kid that wont go to school is... I think its really sad :( but overall the song is great!

  6. I like to sing that song. It always gets me pumped. The song I think is about when a guy gose out and he has to go to work and he dose nothing and he is taking care of business everyday. What a good song.

  7. I like how the perspective of the song starts with your morning and how hard it is.Then to his morning and how easy it is sleeping in I'm guessing because he says "8:15 into the city" so they probrily had to wake up early. He is also saying how great his life is living free.Not caring what people think!!!!
