Do What I Do Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of In Transit
In Transit: Broadway’s First A Cappella Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
2017
[JANE] I am an actor, or an “actress” or “whatever” Got a fancy college theatre degree I told myself I’d be on Broadway by thirty But I blinked, and poof! I turned thirty-three It's a game of survival, but hey, that’s the biz And new york is mad expensive, but the good news is I got temping skills To pay my bills That's my scheme 'til my dream comes true So I do what I don’t really do So I can do what I do do That’s what I do Uh huh Doobie doobie do It’s not so bad, I answer calls, I print reports When no one’s looking, use an office supply Booya! I type and file while I hum Stephen Schwartz Crammed in my corner of the corporate sky Ev'ry job’s got somethin’, makes it easy to bear Like this swanky midtown office Overlooking times square Out my window I see A Broadway marquee And to me, that's a hell of a view Reminding me I do what I don't really do [BOXMAN] (ticks a clock) [JANE] ... So I can do what I do... do A survival job is a stepping stone Before you become who you are I mean, Madonna was a coat check girl Before she became a global star Meryl Streep waited tables Marlon Brando – he dug ditches Liza and Barbara and Patti Lupone Never had a day job [ALL] Bitches! [JANE] But Harrison Ford and Jesus Christ Both survived on carpentry They paid their dues on the road To greatness just like me! [MS. WILLIAMS] Morning Jane! [JANE] Morning, Ms. Williams [MS. WILLIAMS] I need you to channel your powers, and proof the entire annual report by 1pm [JANE] I got it. I’ll work through lunch [MS. WILLIAMS] Gettin’ it done, Jane [JANE] You bet! That’s what I do. I’m gonna miss my audition What am I doing? I’m an “actor” or “whatever” But I’m making self delusion an art And I’ll go crazy in an office one more second I’ll bust out of here by getting this part! I see people who give up and Leave the biz ev’ry year And yeah, i’m thirty-three But baby -- I'm still here! Though i’m not there yet I can’t forget that I bet On myself coming through I’m not gonna do what I don’t really do I gotta do what I do... do Oh yeah I gotta do what I do… do Whoa… whoa I gotta do what I do Doo n doo doo n doo doo n doo Do what i do do do I gotta do what i [ALL] Doo!
