Surprisingly not the worst nor the most embarrassing lyric The Doors ever came out with. Sounding like some hippy dippy shit rallying call to a bunch of spaced out idiots to assume command of our destiny. A collaberation with Krieger probably written whilst Morrison was too drunk to think straight. An obvious filler used to complete a tiresome and taxing sessions for 'The Soft Parade' album. This was a period in Doors History when the band was at a low ebb due to a variety of factors that werre all piled onto Morrisona fter his death but were not quite as clear cut as the band mambers would have you believe. The Doors unhinged.....The Soft Parade cause and effect …..the consequences of Buick for Miami and beyond......

Of course we must not forget the poetic opening stanza of 'Do It' which is translated from fluent gibberish as ....
Yuppa tuppa ta ta Yuppa tuppa chic ta Do thang, do thang Do tuppa thang cho Rikki te tatar Te teen tar De dow dow Ha, ha, ha, ha Ha, ha, ha, ha
Which is an indication that Morrison was not as into this album as he had been the first two. Many of the TSP songs are credited to both him and Krieger as he began to insist that the songs receive individual credit because he did not want to be associated with some of Krieger's songs on TSP such as 'Touch Me' and 'Tell All The People'. Ironically Krieger's songs were well received from a pop point of view. And of course 'Do It' was hardly the most profoundly thoughtful Morrison lyric either.
It is a sad reflection that this period was probably The Doors nadir and thankfully the blues rescued the situation and Morrison managed to go out on a high after he left the band in 1971 before he went to Europe to find a change of fortunes.
TSP was the Doors weakest effort and songs like 'Do It' are hardly songs you want to hear to many times. The song did influence someone as Lord Flasheart played by Rick Mayall would shout this at various inopportune moments and steal a laugh from Blackadder in the series of the same name.
