Why Don’t You Do Right?

[Verse 1]
You had plenty money in 1922
But you let all the women make a fool of you

[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

[Verse 2]
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about
If you ain't got no money, they going to put you out

[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

[Verse 3]
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door

[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I fell for your jive and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin

[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

[Outro]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do
