Lyrics Do Things That Are Delightful to You - Akira the Don , Alan Watts

To spread joy you have to have it, to impart delight
You have to be more or less delightful
And to be delightful is not some factor of
Trying to make yourself look delightful

It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others

That's to say people who are interesting are people who are interested
Any person for example who is constantly thinking
About all sorts of other things, and other people, and so on
Because they're fascinating, becomes a fascinating person
But a person who doesn't think about anybody else
And who's got very little going on inside their skull, is boring
So, in other words your engagement with the external world
The more you are involved, the more your personality is enriched

Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others

But if you try to enrich your personality by taking a course
In how to win friends and influence people
Or how to be a real person, you'll become just a washout
You'll be like somebody trying to get good nutrition
By biting his nails, and then fingers next
And then half an arm gone and so on
You're entirely nourishing yourself with yourself
Now of course on a vast scale
The universe does that, it eats itself up
That's why the symbol of the snake swallowing its tail
Is a fundamental archaic symbol of life
But, the way it's done is that the snake has in some part of the ring
A place where it's not sensitive for the unconscious
Where it doesn't know that what comes to it
In the form of food is actually what left it in the form of excrement
That thing is, don't mention it
After all as the lord said at the beginning of the universe
"You must draw the line somewhere."

Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
