Do Something
[BUDDY ROCKY]
Do you let that fella steal away your broad?
Or do you do something?
Do you say "Oh well! I guess my life's a fraud!"?
Or do you do something?
Do you wait for your mommy to fix you?
Do you stall while you think of a plan?
Do you pull down your pants when life kicks you in the can?
Do you watch your future go and fall apart?
Or do you do something?
Do you stand there stupid while she breaks your heart?
Or do you try?
Don't just sit there and crumble to pieces
Don't ask when, don't ask why, don't ask how
Just do something
And do it now
You were mister cool and now you know the cost
You better do something
[ENSEMBLE]
Do something
[BUDDY ROCKY]
Every second wasted is a second lost
You better do something
[ENSEMBLE]
Do something
[BUDDY ROCKY]
You been gutless and hopeless and heinous
Ever since this whole story began
Take your head, pull it out of your anus
[BUDDY + ENSEMBLE]
Be a man
And do something
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Do something
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Do something
Do something now
[ENSEMBLE]
Ba, da, ba, da, bow
[BUDDY ROCKY]
Get your life in shape
And get your head on straight
[JACK]
I'm gonna do something
[BUDDY ROCKY]
Better salt your fingers that its not too late
[JACK]
I'm gonna do something
[ENSEMBLE]
Something now
[JACK]
She was waiting for me and I knew it
She was perfect for me, but I froze
She was right in my arms and I blew it
But I'll change
God knows
I'm in love with Betsy
And it's time to prove that I can
Do something
[ENSEMBLE]
Do something
[JACK]
There's not a rock or mountain
That this man can't move
If I just try
Yes, I screwed up a million times over
But she ain't heard the last of Jack
I'll do something
Something tremendous
I'll do anything
To get her back
[JACK, spoken]
Betsy! Betsy!
