You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower
Drying while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours
Waiting out the sun...

be

let it be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

~business

Wake up every mornin
to the 'larm clocks warnin
take the 8:15 to the city
If the trains on time
you can get to work by nine
to start your slavin job and get your pay
there's a whistle up above'n
people pushin people shovin
can't tell me that you like it this way..
If you ever get annoyed
look at me I'm self employed
I love to work at nothin all day
And I be..

Takin care of business
Every day
Takin care of Business
Every way
Takin care of business
and workin overtime

TCB by BTO

To business that we love we rise betime,

And go to't with delight.

Lisa: Bart, why did you take the blame?

Bart: Cause I didn't want you to wreck your life. You got the brains and talent to go as far as you want, no matter what anyone says. And when you do, I'll be right there to borrow money.

If you can smile in the face of insurmountable adversity- you've already picked someone else to blame.
