Why Don't You Do Right?

You had plenty money in 1922

But you let all the women make a fool of you

Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too

You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about

If you ain't got no money, they going to put you out

Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty years ago

You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door

Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too

I fell for your jive and I took you in

Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin

Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too

Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Like some other men do
