I gotta gal lives a way cross town
She don't stand no foolin' around
My baby told me we could make it somehow
Well there ain't no time like there is right now

I'm takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
You know I'm takin' care of business
I'm takin' care of business right now

Well you put a five right in my hand
If I don't show then you'll understand
I don't want to duck when the bill man' due
If I can't give five then a two will do

I'm takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
You know I'm takin' care of business
Takin' care of business right now

You see me duckin' and I [bad word] out

The law man's got his eye on me
I'll be makin' that scene like a one, two, three

Takin' care of business
Yes I'm takin' care of business
Takin' care of business right now

She don't stand no foolin' around
