XTC - That Is The Way Lyrics

Do this, do that, do this, do that

Go and speak
(Do this)
To your niece
(Do that)
Kiss your aunt
(Do this)
On the cheek
(Do that)

Don't talk back
(Do this)
Now run along
(Do that)
It's gone eight
(Do this)
Say goodnight
(Do that)

That's the way that it's done
That's the way that it's done
That's the way that it's done

Boy and girl, girl and boy
This is how you do it
And who am I to reason why

Do this, do that, do this, do that

Wear a shirt
(Do this)
Wear a tie
(Do that)
You look smart
(Do this)
In a suit
(Do that)

Use your fork
(Do this)
On the left
(Do that)
Straighten up
(Do this)
Shoulders back
(Do that)

That's the way that it's done
That's the way that it's done
That's the way that it's done

Boy and girl, girl and boy
This is how you do it
And who am I to reason why
