Lyrics

You had plenty money in 1922 You let other 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 You ain't got no money that will 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 wanderin' now 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 jiving and I took you in Now all you've got to offer me is 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
