Fred Astaire once
worked so hard
He often lost his breath
And now he taps
all other chaps to death
Working hard did not retard
the young Cab Calloway
Now hear him blow
His vodeodo today
Do it the hard way
And it's easy sailing
Do it the hard way
And it's hard to lose
Only the soft way
has a chance of failing
You have to choose
I took the hard way
when I tried to get you
You took the soft way
when you said we'll see
Darling
Now I'll let you
Do it the hard way
Now that you want me
I took the hard way
when I tried to get you
You took the soft way
when you said we'll see
Darling
Now I'll let you
Do it the hard way
Now that you want me
