Disco diva Gloria Gaynor is the larger than life singer behind "I Will Survive" ... the most successful B-side in the history of popular music. The lyrics are written from the point of view of a woman, recently dumped, telling her ex-lover that she can cope without him and wants nothing more to do with him. The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation and gay community, and is a staple of weddings, parties and karaoke nights. Over 25 years after its release, Gaynor continues to ride the success, touring the world and performing her signature song on dozens of TV shows.

Do It Yourself Lyrics
Gloria Gaynor
Many years ago my dad said, 'honey
Lady luck may never come your way
If it's love you want not only money'
This is what my daddy used to say
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Waitin' around for someone who can help you
Oh, someone who can help you find your way
Then if you think there's no one you can turn to
Well, there's someone just a lookin' glass away
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Wishin' and hopin' for your fortune
Prayin' that you'll see your lucky day
[prayin' that you'll see your lucky day]
If you're lookin' for some inspiration
This is what my daddy used to say
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
[prayin' that you'll see your lucky day]
Do-do-do
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
Well, if you want it, go out and get it
You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself
