Takin' Care of Business
I got myself together, got my tie on straight
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
Glen D's got that old piano on the road
Blues is his bag, he's a funky soul
Tim Drummond's on bass, Jim Keltner's on the drums
They'll put it right on you for a shot of rum
I'll tell you right now, it's a funky beat
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
We ain't very good, but that's beside the point
We're alright here tryna rock this joint
Old mama Chip and the Spooner too
Trying to hack a meet-with-you
Christine Lakeland and Jimmy Karsten
He's a rhythm fool, she's a guitar queen
Let me tell you, my friend
Richard is hot on the beat
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
Oh, climb on board, Chad Hailey running 'round
It's that Ashworth Dixie sound
Hurry up mama 'cause we're all gonna meet
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
Glen D's got that old piano on the road
Blues is his bag, he's a funky soul
Tim Drummond's on bass, Jim Keltner's on the drums
They'll put it right on you for a shot of rum
I'll tell you right now, it's a funky beat
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
We ain't very good, but that's beside the point
We're alright here tryna rock this joint
Old mama Chip and the Spooner too
Trying to hack a meet-with-you
Christine Lakeland and Jimmy Karsten
He's a rhythm fool, she's a guitar queen
Let me tell you, my friend
Richard is hot on the beat
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
Oh, climb on board, Chad Hailey running 'round
It's that Ashworth Dixie sound
Hurry up mama 'cause we're all gonna meet
Downtown, takin' care of business on the street
