Why Don’t You Do Right? Songtext
von Peggy Lee

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 20 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

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?
Like some other men do
