Here Lyrics for Taking Care Of Business
You get up every morning from your alarm 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…
[Refrain]
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!
The Song Taking Care Of Business sounds like Bachman was talking about what everybody has to go through in life to get paid. The lyrics of this stanza refer to many lucky fellas today that do work for what they love to do the most.
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
In this Takin Care Of Business Lyrics, Randy Bachman advises newbie musicians to get themselves a secondhand guitar, and chances are high that you will go so far if you get 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
Taking Care Of Business Song made me feel that Bachman was trying to express in the above stanza that he loves playing guitar and writing songs.
Also, it motivates sometimes you when you feel you are burnt out.
The Lyrics-Takin Care Of Business song was originally Titled ‘White Collar Worker’ and very similar sounds like the Beatles,’ Paperback Writer.
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
Whoo
All right
Take good care of my business
When I’m away, every day
Whoo
They get up every morning from their alarm 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 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, take care
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, whoo
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
Takin’ care of business
End of the beautiful song.
Wrapping up
Randy Bachman is the most influential artist ever, his solo albums no one can match his influence. Many ordinary working people get offended by this song. Many critics say that it wouldn’t be nice to be a lazy lad and not work anymore.
The song was used as an advertising campaign for companies back in the 70s. Besides all that being musician isn’t a great job. Musician work hard writing songs loved by thousands of people, it is a real job.
Lastly, like the Taking Care Of Business Lyrics says, we all need to ‘Take care of Business’ to show criticizers that in reality who is Taking care of business while working on hard days.
