Do It Again Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ha
Ah-ah-ah, yeah-a, mhm
Ah-ha, ah-ah ah, ah-ah-ah la-ha, ohm

[Verse 1]
In the morning you go gunning
For the man who stole your water
And you fire 'till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singing
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hanging
And they put you on the street

[Interlude]
Let's go
Ah-ah-ah ha
Ah-ah-ah ha
And you go

[Verse 2]
Well you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two-timer
And you're sure you're at the end
Then you love a little wild one
But she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
[Chorus 1]
You ooh-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha yeah
You go back, Jack
You go back, yeah
Do it again
Wheel's turning round and round

[Interlude]

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you go back, Jack
And do it again
Ah ah-ah-ha
Eh-hey, hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

[Verse 3]
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
Mmm, then you find you're back in Vegas
With a hand up pulled in your hand
Your black cards will make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
Boy, you must put them on the table

[Chorus 2]
Yeah-yeah you-you go back, Jack
Do it again
Wheel turning round, sweet boy
You go back, Jack
Do it again, yes
Yeah he-he-he
I can do, you know
Come on it's me, let's go
Ho ah-ah-ha
Wheel turning round, you know
Wheel turning round beautifully, mmm
Wheel turning round, mhm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
