DO IT NOW DO IT NOW

Poet: Nixon Waterman Poet: Nixon Waterman

If you have a task worth doing, If you have a task worth doing,
Do it now! Do it now!
In delay there's danger brewing, In delay there's danger brewing,
Do it now! Do it now!
Don't you be a "by-and-byer" Don't you be a "by-and-byer"
And a sluggish patience-trier; And a sluggish patience-trier;
If there's aught you would acquire, If there's aught you would acquire,
Do it now! Do it now!

If you'd earn a prize worth owning, If you'd earn a prize worth owning,
Do it now! Do it now!
Drop all waiting and postponing, Drop all waiting and postponing,
Do it now! Do it now!
Say, "I will!" and then stick to it, Say, "I will!" and then stick to it,
Choose your purpose and pursue it, Choose your purpose and pursue it,
There's but one right way to do it, There's but one right way to do it,
Do it now! Do it now!

All we have is just this minute, All we have is just this minute,
Do it now! Do it now!
Find your duty and begin it, Find your duty and begin it,
Do it now! Do it now!
Surely you're not always going Surely you're not always going
To be "a going-to-be"; and knowing To be "a going-to-be"; and knowing
You must some time make a showing You must some time make a showing
Do it now! Do it now!
