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

Why don't you do right,

like some other men do.

Instrumental break

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?
