Lyrics That's How Things Get Done - Howe Gelb

Days turn into afternoons
Afternoons turn into weeks
Pretty soon 'nother year has gone
Still, you ain't got yourself no peace (ah-hoo)
What's the use of sittin' around 'n' waitin'?
Anticipating... your whole life away (ah-hoo)
Waitin' for your ship to come
Come on that sunny day

Put your mind to it
See yourself do it
(That's how things) first step's (get) the hardest
(That's how things)
(You gotta) but you gotta get it (that's how things) started (get)
(Do-o-o-one)

Ain't no way for a garden to grow (ah-hoo)
You got to water, got to work with the how (ah-hoo)
Ain't no way for yourself to get fed (ah-hoo)
You don't get up and get out of bed (ah-hoo)
Wash your face (ah-hoo), comb your hair (ah-hoo)
Get on (ah-hoo) straight and get out (ah-hoo) there

That's how things get
That's how things get
That's how they get done

(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one)

(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one)

(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one) mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Open (that's how) up (things get) your mind
(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)
Put your body (do-o-o-one) in motion-n-n

Mmm, mm-mm (Put your body in motion)
Go 'head and make yourself a clean sweep
You ain't a bear, you don't need that much sleep, mmm, mm-mm

That's how things get
That's how things get
That's how things get
Do-o-o-one

That's how things get done
(That's how things get)
(That's how things get)

The world is sick (do-o-o-one)
It's an epidemic (that's how things get)
Sometimes (that's how things) what I think we need (get) is
One good swift... (that's how things get)
Kick! (Do-o-o-one)
(That's how things get) kick!
(That's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one)

That's how things... (that's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one) that's how things
(That's how things get)
That's how (do-o-o-one) things get done
(That's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one)

That's how things get
That's how things get
Do-o-o-one (Mmm, mm-mm-mm)

That's how things (get do-o-o-one) (how things get)
(That's how things get) hey, how things get done
(That's how things get)
(Do-o-o-one)
