New Feature – Lyrics of the Week. We’ll be posting lyrics from long-time favorite songs for you to go over to see how you might improve your songwriting abilities. We’ll also be accepting suggestions for YOUR favorite song lyrics and why they mean something to you. AND we’ll be posting a word for you to write a line or two around. Just for the heck of it! (See the posting under “Songwriters’ Corner).
So this week’s featured Lyrics are from Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “Taking Care of Business” (after all, this is a Music Business organization!) My favorite lines are, “You get up every mornin’ to the alarm clock’s warnin’…”
Hits all of us RIGHT HERE!!!

Bachman-Turner Overdrive: Taking Care of Business
You get up every mornin’
From your alarm clock’s warnin’
Take the 8:15 into the city
There’s a whistle up above
And people pushin’, people shovin’
All the girls are tryin’ 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
Chorus:
And I’ll 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.
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
Chorus:
