Мелодія: "Taking care of business" - Bachman–Turner Overdrive
Well I get up every morning
Gotta work like a donkey
Just to keep up with this business today
You see I'm on a mission
Got to beat the competition
Or in this marketplace I can't stay
Some people get annoyed
Just because I'm self employed
Що я стріляю бобки all day?
Well добрі люди what the facts is
Is I pay big income taxes
Cause tax evasion just doesn't pay
Приспів:
That's why I'm taking care of business
Кожний день!
Taking care of business
For Ukraine
I'm taking care of business
That's окей!
Taking care of business
I work for UBA
Of many boards I am діректор
Cause without a private sector
This economy would be the living pits
And if we all pulled out
То би був ніякий doubt
That the government would take a hairy кака
Some people call me slob
But I'm just creating jobs
When unemployment's looking pretty bad
I'm just using my credentials
Cause I see lots of potentials
In the young folks of today
They're not so bad
Приспів.
Taking care of business (4)
Taking care of business
Кожний день!
Taking care of business
For Ukraine
I'm taking care of business
That's окей!
Taking care of business
Belong to UBA
