Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Moses, you better slow down your pace
You know sometimes, haste makes waste
Moses, you better stop blowing the breeze
You better give the jive the freeze
Moses, you better keep the wheel a turning
'Cause the man is churning too
[Verse 2]
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
[Verse 3]
Moses, you better stop hogging the joint
Because you know it ain't no point
Moses, you better stop your hoochie koo
And put them ribs on the barbecue
Moses, you better stop popping your gum
Sucking your thumb and you're looking dumb
[Verse 4]
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
[Verse 5]
Moses, you better stop chasing the boys
And get some unbreakable toys
Moses, you better stop sleeping so late
And try to get up half past eight
Moses, you better stop stirring a fuss
Because what would you do without us?
[Verse 6]
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Don't do what I do, do what I say
