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

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 yourself
