Capo on 2 Laying in the alleyway Maybe some rich fool will come my way And throw me a dime That’s all I need to give me more wine All I got is to my names And I sure know I’m just saying "Taking care of no business" Look it here Hey kitty cat! Where you going? This part of the alley is my home Walking all over outside my wall Boy you sure got a whole lotta gall I had a sandwich in a paper bag But a rat stole it Ain’t that some drag? Lord I know I know I sure ain’t taking care of no business Break it home Solo: /u> B7 Now I’ll try to get me a job Feeding chickens And washing down hogs But that meant standing up all the time And standing up to me is just like dying I’m so lazy that I could cry But tears are just too lazy to fall out my eyes Lord lord lord I’m so messed up Can’t even take care of no business Play it one more time Aww woe is me Aww I sure wish I had me a sandwhich ahhh anything I’m so broke I can’t even pay attention Uh I’m so poor I couldn’t even give you the time
