Story behind the song
BTO ran out of songs to play at a gig, so Randy pulled this one out of his memory - a reworking of a song the Guess Who had passed on a number of years before.
Lyrics
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 / C Bb F C / : 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! 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... {Refrain} (Spoken) Take good care of my business When I'm away, every day whoo! {Repeat first 2 verses} {Refrain} Takin' care of business (4x) {Refrain} Takin' care of business {repeat, fade}
