Just Do It!

When somebody tells you, “It’s time to do your chores,”
You don’t have to whine and scream and cry!
When it’s time to do your work, You don’t have to sit and question, “Why?”
Everybody has to do their part, And you’ll get it done faster if you simply just start,
So when somebody tells you, “It’s time to do your chores,”
Do yourself a favor – Just do it!

When somebody tells you, “It’s time to do your chores,”
It is true that you might rather play!
It might seem a lot more fun, To just lay around and watch TV all day!
But your mind and your body will turn to mush,
If you just sit around all day like slush!
So when somebody tells you, “It’s time to do your chores,”
Do yourself a favor – Just do it!

Oh___ , I’m sure that you’d much rather go____
Play with your friends or see a show,
Instead of cleaning up your bathroom!
But oh_____ I think that you might want to know______
You can go fast, you can go slow
But you still gotta do it, so you might as well get to it,
And you’ll get soon through it, in no time at all!

When somebody tells you, “It’s time to do your chores,”
You don’t have to whine and scream and cry!
When it’s time to do your work, You don’t have to sit and question, “Why?”
It can take hours to argue and fight, So just get the job done, and do the job right!
When somebody tells you, “It’s time to do your chores,”
Do yourself a favor – Do yourself a favor – Do yourself a favor, Just do it!
