Rebop, Rebop
Rebop, Rebop
Nobody can make it for you
You have to do it yourself
Nobody can live or die for you
You have to do it yourself
Some people say they can get it for you
Others say they can see you through
But if you need help, then
You better help yourself
Rebop, Rebop
Yeah
Rebop, Rebop
Rebop, Rebop
Yeah
Rebop, Rebop
You can try your friends
Both day and night
But you have to do it yourself
‘Cause if you want to get
The thing done right
You have to do it yourself
You don’t know the joy that I felt
Only the Lord and nobody else
‘Cause when it was done
I had done it all by myself
Rebop, Rebop
Yeah
Rebop, Rebop
Rebop, Rebop
Rebop, Rebop
Don’t believe in what you hear
Only half of what you see
I’m the one who has to be sure
Just what you can do for me
You can try your friends
Both day and night
But you have to do it yourself
‘Cause if you want to get
The thing done right
You have to do it yourself
You don’t know the joy that I felt
Only the Lord and nobody else
‘Cause when it was done
I had done it all by myself
Rebop, Rebop
Yeah
Rebop, Rebop
Rebop, Rebop
Don’t you know
You got to do it
Don’t you know
You got to do it
You have to do it yourself

You have to do it yourself
(Did’ja hear me say it?)
You have to do it yourself
(Did you hear me say?)
You have to do it yourself
(You got to do it!)
Do it do it do it yourself
(You’ve got to climb that hill)
Do it do it do it today
(Or cross that sea)
Do it do it do it yourself
(Take a little courage!)
Do it do it do it yourself
(C'mon! Do it like me!)
You have to do it
You have to do it
(You’ve gotta)
You have to do it yourself
(You’ve gotta, you’ve gotta)
Rebop, Rebop
Yeah
Rebop, Rebop
You have to do it
You have to do it
(Did you hear me say?)
You have to do it yourself

(Get up and go!)
