Verse 1:
    C
You get up every morning
          Bb
From your 'larm clock's warning
         F
Take the 8city
          C
There's a whistle up above
           Bb
And people pushin', people shovin'
        F                     C
And the girls who try to look pretty

            C
And if your train's on time
        Bb
You can get to work by nine
    F                                  C
And start your slaving job to get your pay
       C
If you ever get annoyed
        Bb
Look at me I'm self-employed
  F                           C
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

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

Verse 2:
           C
If it were easy as fishin'
          Bb
You could be a musician
   F                             C
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
      C
Get a second-hand guitar
        Bb
Chances are you'll go far
       F                              C
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

       C
People see you having fun
       Bb
Just a-lying in the sun
F                               C
Tell them that you like it this way
         C
It's the work that we avoid

We love to work at nothing all day
And we be
