Do It Yourself Songtext
von Pat Boone

Like the busy bee a-buzzin′
Makin' honey for his hon
You gotta do, do, do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done

Does the muskrat help the beaver
As he labors in the sun?
You gotta do, do, do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done

′Tis said that the Lord will help
He who helps himself
Like the little moth eatin' cloth
Of the best suit on your shelf

Would you call for an assistant
When you're with that lovable one?
You gotta do, do, do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done

You gotta do, do, do it yourself
(Do, do it yourself)
If you wanna get anything done


You gotta do, you gotta do
You gotta do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done

′Tis said that the Lord will help
He who helps himself

Like the quartet from Rigoletto
We can hang around and sing
Harmonizing allegretto
If it takes us all the spring
But there′s one thing that the four of us no longer can ignore
Even opera singers get hungry
So what are we waitin' for?

When it comes to real home cookin′
Don't depend on anyone
You gotta do, do, do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done

If you mention washin′ dishes
How your dinner guests all run
You gotta do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done


You can't dine on adjectives
Brother, save your breath
Better start in now, cookin′ chow
Before we starve to death

And without that well-known marrow
We could have a barrel of fun
You gotta do, do, do it yourself
If you wanna get anything done

Wanna get, wanna get
Wanna get, wanna get, want
To get anything done
