Do It the Hard Way

Fred Astaire once worked so hard he often lost his breath

And now he taps all other chaps to death

Working hard did not retard the young Cap Calloway

Now hear him blow his rodeo dough today

Do it the hard way and it's easy sailing

Do it the hard way and it's hard to lose

Only the soft way has a chance of failing

You have to choose

I took the hard way when I tried to get you

You took the soft way when you said, "We'll see"

Darling, now I let you

Do it the hard way now that you want me
