起床鈴聲III- Taking care of business

起床鈴聲III- Taking care of business

這一首也很適合做起床音樂，也常常被作為電影的配樂：Bachman-Turner Overdrive的「Taking care of business」，歌詞如下：

You get up every morning

你每天早上起床
From your 'larm clock's warning

被鬧鐘叫醒
Take the 8:15 into the city

搭8：15的火車進城
There's a whistle up above

上面響著鳴笛聲
And people pushin', people shovin'

眾人推擠著
And the girls who try to look pretty

女孩試著讓自己看起來漂亮點
And if your train's on time

如果你的火車沒誤點
You can get to work by nine

九點你就能準時上工
And start your slaving job to get your pay

開始你的奴隸般的工作，去得到你的薪水
If you ever get annoyed

如果你曾經被惹得很煩
Look at me I'm self-employed

來看看我，我自己當老闆
I love to work at nothing all day

我最愛不擇手段的工作一整天

And I'll be
而我總是

Taking care of business (every day)

照顧好自己的事業（每一天）
Taking care of business (every way)

照顧好自己的事業（用各種方法）
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)

我已經照顧好自己的事業了（全部都是我的）
Taking care of business and working overtime

照顧好自己的事業而且超時工作
Work out

事情解決

If it were easy as fishin'

如果它像釣魚那樣簡單
You could be a musician

你也可以是個音樂家
If you could make sounds loud or mellow

如果你可以創作出響亮或圓潤的聲音
Get a second-hand guitar

買支二手吉他
Chances are you'll go far

走的夠遠（夠努力）就有機會
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

如果你加入正確的人群
People see you having fun

人們看到你很有趣
Just a-lying in the sun

只要在太陽下撒的一個謊言
Tell them that you like it this way

告訴他們你喜歡如此方式
It's the work that we avoid

這是我們避免去做的工作
And we're all self-employed

然後我們就都是自己的老闆
We love to work at nothing all day

我們喜歡不擇手段的工作一整天
And we be

然後我們將成為
Taking care of business (every day)

照顧好自己的事業（每一天）
Taking care of business (every way)

照顧好自己的事業（用各種方法）
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)

我們已經照顧好自己的事業（全都是我的）
Taking care of business and working overtime
照顧好自己的事業而且超時工作

Mercy

仁慈吧
Whooooo

嗚….
All right
沒錯
Take good care of my business

照顧好自己的事業
When I'm away, every day

當我遠離的時候，每一天
Whoooo
….

聽來有非常正統搖滾的感覺，我自己認為的；其實搖滾樂到底是怎麼樣去定義我也不知道，只覺得這首歌跟「JOHNNY BE GOOD」、「JAIL HOUSE ROCK」等，都是一聽就覺得是搖滾樂一樣。歌詞雖然有嘲笑朝九晚五的上班族的那種感覺，但那句start your slaving job to get your pay卻是深得我心。

歌詞中Look at me I'm self-employed，I love to work at nothing all day，還working overtime自得其樂，自己當老闆賺錢都是自己的，當然是越做越愉快；不過當老闆需負擔風險，壓力也大，也不是一般人能做得到的。但即便自雇或被雇，Taking care of business every day才是不變的真理。
