lyrics

Getting her chores done
Before she is asked
Blasting her records
And swigging a flask
She gets down to business
Slip down the ladder
Swift as a mouse
Hotwire the Camaro
Outside the house
She gets down to business
Dancing her feet off
Til quarter past four
Back in the classroom
Looking so bored
She gets down to business
Who's that guitarist
She don't kiss and tell
Just tipping a doorman
In a five-star hotel
She gets down to business
Is it fire
Is it wood
She's just got to test the properties
When she's bad is when she's good
She could knock the stuffing out of Socrates
Chasing a mugger
With the heel of her shoe
For a book of old poems
And a bone from Peru
She gets down to business
Down she gets down
She gets down
