Lyrics

Who needs business savvy when all you really want to do his hold your hand out and have somebody put money in it? What could go wrong?

Can’t Take Care of Business

You get up every morning
Before your 'larm clock's warning
Take the Rockville Pike into that city
You read the signs out from above
Another habit littles love
And then there’s Nige’ grabbin’ grub at bagel citi
So now it’s podcast time
Or will be after summer time
Ain’t gonna be nobody there to hand you pay
You say you’re bringing ‘long your boy
“Hey look now ma I'm self-employed!”
Who calls this work you’re yakking all day ?

But Tony
Can’t take care of business (ain’t no way)
Can’t take care of business (who will pay?)
Just who will run this business (bottom line)
TK running his own of business, that idea is asinine
C’mon man!

It’s easy as fishin'
For the Littles to listen
You’ll do the same show, you’ll rant and bellow
“Can I listen in my car?”
“Downloading apps it’s too hard!”
Old guy list’ners ain’t such tech savvy fellows
How will you get this business done?
Sounds like more tweets from your son
Tell Chris and Gary they must wait for their pay
Taxes ‘n health care you’ll avoid
And soon you’ll all be unemployed
Maybe hang on to your day jobs, OK?

Cause TK
Can’t take care of business (ain’t no way)
Can’t take care of business (he’ll flail away)
Will the show go out of business? (Is it time?)
We’ll worry ‘bout this later, let’s hit the Palm and drink some wine

    Based on the title, I actually thought this was going to be about Chessie before I clicked on it. I really like where you went though.

    I love the change of the title line to make this song have the opposite meaning of the original. while still sticking close on a lot of the original lyrics. Brilliant. Vocals on this are awesome... great grit coming through.
