Why Don't You Do Right?

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 outta here, get me some money too

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

If you ain't got no money they will put you out

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

Get outta here, get me some money too

Now if you had prepared twenty years ago

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

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

Get outta here, get me some money too

I fell for your jargon and I took you in

Now all you got to offer me is a drink of gin

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

Get outta here, get me some money too

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

Like some other men do

Like some other men do
