What you do, what you say
 Has a lot to do in how you live today
 What you want, and what you make
 Everybody knows it's only what you take
 What you see, and what you hear
 When [bad word] around again it's not too clear
 You say yes, they say no
 Everybody's talking everywhere you go
 
You try to give another man a helping hand
 He will take your kindness for a weaker stand
 Never do to others what they do to you
 Try to find another way to make it through
 
What i say is what i know,
 Try to get a favour going from door to door
 You stop and pray it's out of style,
 You a step ahead it takes a hundred miles
 What i say is what i know
 Try to get a favour going from door to door
 You stop and pray, you know that's out of style,
 Get a step ahead it takes a hundred miles
 
You try to give another man a helping hand
 He will take your kindness for a weaker stand
 Never do to others what they do to you
 You'd better do it to them before they do it to you!
 
What you do, and what you say
 Has a lot to do in how you live today
 What you want, what you make,
 Everybody knows it's only what you take
 And now what you see, and what you hear,
 When [bad word] around again it's not gonna be the same thing
 Because you're gonna say yes, and they're gonna say no
 And everybody's gonna talk, and talk,
 And bla bla everywhere you go
 
And you know something?
 You try to give another man a helping hand
 You know what he's gonna do?
 He's gonna take your kindness for a weaker stand
 You try to do for others what you'd like them to do to you
 Ah! ah! forget it! it's gonna be some other kind thing!
 
So you try to give another man, ah! listen, a helping hand?
 He will take your kindness for a weaker stand!
 Never do to others what they do to you
