Why don't you do right?

You had plenty of 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
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 out of here,
Get me some money too

Now if you had prepared 20 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 out of here
Get me some money too

I fell for your jive and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a fifth of gin
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?

Get out of here
Get me some money too

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