Church Business (Original Lyrics)

We get up Sunday morning

from the alarm clock's warning

What a strange and peculiar people

While our friends are still in bed

We sit in meetings instead

In the red brick church with the steeple

And we're takin' care of business, on Sunday

Takin' care of business, there's no pay

We been takin' care of business, could be worse

Takin' care of business, just hear the next verse

Scoutmaster

When the Bishop's on the phone

wants to speak to you alone

makes your heart beat just a little faster

I was confident and strong

the bishopric is never wrong

or so I thought until he made me Scoutmaster!

And now I'm takin' care of business, on Sunday

Takin' care of business, there's no pay

He's been takin' care of business, hangin' out

Takin' care of business, and campin' with the scouts

Ward Mission Leader

It's as easy as fishin'

You can run the ward mission

Like a walk through the park in the shade

If you think that that's true

Here's a deal just for you

What's your calling? I'm willing to trade

And I'm takin' care of business, on Sunday

Takin' care of business, for no pay

He's been takin' care of business, knockin' on doors

Takin' care of business, giving church tours

Take good care 

Of my business

On Sunday

We don't play

Aaronic Priesthood Youth

If church started at noon

it would still be too soon

cause I'd rather stay longer in bed

but instead of sleeping late

I get to church at half past eight

and I'm carrying the sacrament bread

Takin' care of business, on Sunday

Takin' care of business, for no pay

He's been takin' care of business, its all good

Takin' care of business, doin' what he should

Executive Secretary

Every time the phone rings

It's for me so it seems

"Can you schedule this important thing today?"

I reply with a grin,

"I'm sure I can fit it in.

I'll make fifty-two phone calls right away."

Takin' care of business, on Sunday

Takin' care of business, there's no pay

He's been takin' care of business, ???

Takin' care of business, ???

Bishop

We start the meetings on time

though it's kinda sparse at nine

lots of people still on their way

But I never get annoyed

Cause I've already enjoyed

Six or seven early meetings that day

I've been takin' care of business, on Sunday

Takin' care of business, there's no pay

We been takin' care of business, its all fine

Takin' care of business, we don't ever whine
