Song lyrics

You had plenty money, 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 and wonderin' what it's all about?
You ain't got no money, they 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 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 jivin' 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...



Why Don't You Do Right?

You had plenty money, 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 give me some money too

You're sittin' down and wonderin' what it's all about.
You ain't got no money, they will put you out.
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and give 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 give me some money too

I fell for your jivin' 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
