Taking Care of Business

Ian Tyson

[Chorus]
Show me whether you can
Get yourself together and
Take care of business
So I've had it up to here with you
I'll tell you what you'd better do
Take care of business

[Verse 1]
You're from up country, baby
Just like I was
Lookin' for a hand to hold on to
Just like a child does

[Verse 2]
I bought you groceries
And I paid your rent
I should have known
Had better sense

[Chorus]
Show me whether you can
Get yourself together and
Take care of business
As far as I've had it up to here with you
I'll tell you what you'd better do
Take care of business

[Bridge]
Just be glad but on time
And it goes against my pride
With nothin' down and nothin' given
You still ain't satisfied

[Verse 3]
Oh, we're from the same town, baby
You think I'm a fool
You tried to hitch me to your wagon
Just like a mule

[Verse 4]
I know your whole family
And they're just like you
I ran with your brother
He's a loser, too

[Chorus]
Show me whether you can
Get yourself together and
Take care of business
You know I've had it up to here with you
I'll tell you what you'd better do
Take care of business
