| A long time ago, in 1965 or so
|
| I met a man with a face that was a real disgrace
|
| Pictures he took and put them in a little book
|
| So ambitious was he, he even took a picture of me
|
| Then one day he opened up a studio (start recording now)
|
| Tried to make it pay, making hit records or no
|
| And he asked me along write him a little song
|
| I get the studio free, just sign this paper for me
|
| You got to take good care of business, my friend
|
| Take good care of yourself
|
| You got to take good care of business, my friend
|
| Otherwise you’ll end up on the shelf
|
| Oh yeah
|
| Later on, after I wrote that song
|
| Even heard it played up on Radio One (Radio One)
|
| Manager said: 'Money all gone away'
|
| You spent it, you see, up and down the country
|
| You got to take good care of business, my friend
|
| Take good care of yourself
|
| You got to take good care of business, my friend
|
| Otherwise you’ll end up on the shelf
|
| Well, I started to say, I mean we’ve got to play
|
| What else can I do? |
| We’re not clever like you
|
| Then said he: 'You know how I’m fair'
|
| You can sign to the company for another ten years
|
| You got to take good care of business, my friend
|
| Take good care of yourself
|
| You got to take good care of business, my boys
|
| Otherwise you’ll end up on the shelf |
