Letra
[Verse 1]
If I call three times a day, baby
Come on and drive my blues away
When you come, be ready to play
Do your duty
[Verse 2]
If you want to have some luck
Give your baby your last buck
Don't come quackin' like a duck
Do your duty
[Verse 3]
I heard you say you didn't love me, baby
Yesterday at Mrs. Brown's
I don't believe a word she says
She's the lying-est woman in town, oh babe
[Verse 4]
When I need attention at home
I'll just call you on the telephone
Come yourself; don't send your friend Jones
Do your duty
[Verse 5]
If my radiator gets too hot
Cool it off in lots of spots
Give me all the service you've got
Do your duty
[Verse 6]
If you don't know what it's all about
Don't sit around my house and pout
Do and you'll catch you're mama tippin' out
Do your duty
[Verse 7]
If you make your own bed hard
That's the way of life
I'm tired of sleepin' by myself
You're too dumb to realize
[Verse 8]
Oh babe, I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue
I'm not satisfied with the way that you do
I've got to help you find somebody to
Do your duty
