Why Don’t You Do Right? Full Lyrics

It was back in 1922 You let other women make a fool of you But it's now 1953 You're doing the same thing, don't do it to me You had plenty money back in '22 You let other women make a fool of you Why don't you do right like some other men do? Just get out of here and get me some money too You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about If you don't get no money they will throw you out Why don't you do right like some other men do? Just get out of here and get me some money too It was back in 1944 You kept on running from door to door Why don't you do right like some other men do? Just get out of here and get me some money too I fell for your jiving and I took you in All you had to offer was a drink of gin Why don't you do right like some other men do? Just get out of here and get me some money too You ain't got no money, ain't got, no use for you You ain't got no money, ain't got, no use for you So get out of here and get me some money too I've got man in the east, a man in the west But I found out that gold is the best Got no money, ain't got, no use for you So get out of here and get me some money too Why don't you do right? Why don't you do right? Why don't you do right? Come on and do right Like some other, like some other men do Ooh
