"Why Don't You Do Right?" lyrics

"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 outta here, and
Get me some money, too

You sitting down wondering what it's all about
You ain't got no money that would put you out

Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get outta here, and
Get me some money, too

If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wandering now from door to door

Why don't you do right?
Like some other men, like some other men do
Get outta here, and
Get me some money, too

I said get outta here
Give me some money, too
I said get outta here
Give me some money, too
