Lyrics

Do It Well (Edit 3)
© 2006 Tim Wheeler & Enda Cullen

Verse 1
Joe steps-out from his single-room
Rides a bus through August-heat
To punch a clock on a Walmart wall
Another 12 hours on his feet

Two shifts later, almost home
Stars shine down on his despair
They whisper that he’s not alone
He smiles into the midnight air

Chorus 1
He-thinks if life’s at-all worth livin’
When it seems a livin’ hell
Then he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do
And do it well
Yeah he’s gonna do it well

Verse 2
Jenni mashes one potato
Wishin’ that she had one-more
Lil’ Rosie sings “Hi-Hi Cherry-O”
Spread out o’er the kitchen floor

Husband left them poor and stranded
Jenni took no time to cry
In clothes worn thin and second-handed
Now only Rosie makes her high

Chorus 2
She-thinks if life’s at-all worth livin’
When it seems a livin’ hell
Then she’s gotta do what she’s gotta do
And do it well
Yeah she’s gonna do it well

Instrumental Break (Short)

Verse 3
Late December at the Checkout
Workin’ on the Weekend Crew
Joe heard a call, looked down to see
Lil’ Rosie holding up a can of stew

Her eyes led back to Jenni’s smile
Ev’ry trouble seemed to disappear
Three months later on a different aisle
They-swore love for-all to hear

Chorus 3 (Variation)
They-learned if life’s at-all worth livin’
Love can lift us out ‘o hell
But we’ve gotta do what we’ve gotta do

If life’s at-all worth livin’
Love can lift us out ‘o hell
But we’ve gotta do what we’ve gotta do
And do it well
Yeah we’ve gotta do it well
