[Intro]
E E

[Verse 1]
E
Itemize the things you covet,
Emaj7
As you squander through your life,
E7
Bigger cars, bigger houses,
A
Term insurance for your wife,
Am
Tuesday evenings with your harlot,
E F#
And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan analyst,
B7
He's high upon your list.

[Verse 2]
E
You've got air conditioned sinuses,
Emaj7 E7
And dark disturbing doubts about religion,
A
And you keep those cards and letters going out,
Am
While your secretary's tempting you,
E F#
Your morals are exempting you from guilt and shame,
B7
Heaven knows you're not to blame.

[Chorus]
E A Bsus4
You better take care of business, Mr. Businessman,
Bsus4
What's your plan?
E A Bsus4
Get down to business, Mr. Businessman,
Bsus4
If you can,
G#m C#m G#m A
Before it's too late and you throw your life away.

[Bridge 1]
D C G/B
Did you see your children growing up today,
