Do it right
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got to do it right
To get it right
No other way to do it
If you want to do it right
Right from the start
Don't play dumb
Don't act smart
There's just no way around it
It's all up to you
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
Satan, or Jesus
Get it all in order
It's the horse
And then the cart
You want to get it right
To do it right
Don't play dumb
And don't act smart
If you want to get it right
Then it's all right
That's all right
Get it right
Just don't play dumb
And don't act smart
You've got to do it right
To get it right
No other way will do it
If you want it right
Right from the start
Don't play dumb
And don't act smart
There's just no way around it
It's all up to you
The choice is yours
The choice is clear
Satan or Jesus
Get it all in order
It's the horse
And then the cart
If you want if right
Then do it right
Don't play dumb
And don't act smart
If you want it right
That's all right
If you want it right
That's all right
Just don't play dumb
And don't act smart
What's right is right
What's right is right
What's right is right
What's right is right
What's right is right
What's right is right
