[Verse 1]
You had plenty money in 1922
But you let all the women make a fool of you
[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money too
[Verse 2]
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about
If you ain't got no money, they going to put you out
[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
[Verse 3]
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door
[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I fell for your jive and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
[Refrain]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
[Outro]
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do
