Delbert Mcclinton - Do It lyrics

rate me

Well, I was feeling like hell and I was not getting well

So I went in for a physical check

And when I got to the doc, it was a hell of a shock

He said, "Boy, you're a physical wreck"

He said,"Your livers all swollen

And your stomach's got a hole in it

From drinking too much for too long

And that's a good indication, you got bad circulation

'Cause your blood pressure's almost gone"

"And you got no reflexes in your solar plexus

When I tap you on the top of your knee

And your pulse ain't steady and your lungs

Are ready to collapse anytime you breath"

"And at the rate you're going all the symptoms showing

Boy, you'll never live to get old

So I came up with a plan to make you healthy again

But, boy, you've got to do what you're told"

"If you dig it, don't do it and if you like it better leave it alone

And if it's too much fun that ought to clue you, son

That you're probably doing something that's wrong"

And if it feels good to you, don't let it fool you

'Cause you're playing in the danger zone"

I kept waiting and waiting for the doctor to finish

But he kept going on and on

He told me cut out the booze and put those muscles in use

And don't be smoking no cigarettes

And you know love with a stranger might be fun

But it's just like Russian Roulette

Get the grease out your diet, boil it

Don't fry it and don't you eat no more barbecue

You better get you a pen I ain't gonna tell you again

'Cause there's a whole lot more you gotta' do

If you dig it, don't do it and if you like it better leave it alone

And if it's too much fun that ought to clue you, son

That you're probably doing something that's wrong"

And if it feels good to you, don't let it fool you

'Cause you're playing in the danger zone"

I kept waiting and waiting for the doctor to finish

But he kept going on and on

He told me cut out the meat and don't be crampin' your feet

And then he pointed toward Italian shoes

And he said, "Boy, look here you're gonna damage your ear

Listening to loud rock and rhythm and blues

And if a rabbit won't eat it brother you don't need it

That's the rules of your new menu

I wouldn't tell you no lie 'cause you will certainly die

And there's a whole lot more you gotta do

If you dig it, don't do it and if you like it better leave it alone

And if it's too much fun that ought to clue you, son

That you're probably doing something that's wrong"

And if it feels good to you, don't let it fool you

'Cause you're playing in the danger zone"

I kept waiting and waiting for the doctor to finish

But he kept going on and on

You better stand up straight, you better lose some weight

Your posture's a terrible disgrace

You ought to suck in your gut, you need to pull in your butt

And there's whole lot more you gotta do
