What I Do Songtext
von Donald Fagen

I say "Ray, why do girls treat you nice that way?"
He said, "It′s not what I know, what I think or say"

It's what I do
It′s what I do
It's deep beneath the skin
It's what I major in
It′s what I do

Yes, I come to play and I bring big soul
I could rock long before they named it
Rock and roll

It′s what I do
It's what I do
I′m specially qualified
To keep 'em satisfied
It′s what I do


You turn the lamp down low
You make them feel secure
You've got to show the girl
She′s the one you adore
If you want that sugar to pour

Well, you bring some church
But you leave no doubt
As to what kind of love you love
To shout about

It's what I do
It's what I do
If you can′t dance by now
The Raelettes will show you how
It′s what I do

You turn the lamp down low
You make them feel secure
You've got to show the girl
She′s the one you adore
If you want that sugar to pour

He says, "Don, don't despair, take some time
Just find your bad self, you′re gonna do just fine"


It's what I do
It′s what I do
It's not some game I play
It's in my DNA
It′s what I do

It′s what I do
(Just, just one thing)
It's what I do
(That′s what I do)
It's deep beneath the skin
It′s what I major in
It's what I do
(That′s what I do)

It's what I do
(Just, just one thing)
It's what I do
(That′s what I do)
I′m specially qualified
To keep 'em satisfied
It′s what I do
(That's what I do)
It′s what I do
(Just, just one thing)
It's what I do
(That′s what I do)
It's what I do
(Just one thing)
Oh, what I do (that's what I do)
It′s what I do
(Just, just one thing)
What I do (that′s what I do)
(Just one thing, that's what I do)
Yea, what I do (that′s what I do)
What I do (just, just one thing)
What I do (that's what I do)
(Just one thing, that′s what I do)
Hey, what I do (that's what I do)
What I do (just, just one thing)
That′s what I do (that's what I do)
(Just one thing, that's what I do)
(That′s what I do, huh)
(Just one thing, that′s what I do)
(Just one thing, that's what I do)
