That'll Do, Babe
Randy Newman · Other Songs - Randy Newman
And a task that seems impossible is quite possible for you.
A kind and steady heart ds sure to see you through.
It may not seem like very much right now but it'll do, it'll do.
When you find youtself in the middle of a storm
And you're tired and cold and wet,
And you're looking for a place that's cozy and warm
You'll make it if you never forget:
A kind and steady heart can conquer doubt and fear.
A little courage goes a long long way,
Get's you little bit further down the road each day,
And before you know it you'll here someone say:
That'll do, Babe, that'll do.
A kind and steady heart is sure to see you through.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you little bit further down the road each day,
And before you know it you'll hear someone say:
That'll do, that'll do,
That'll do Babe, that'll do.
That'll Do, Babe
