Why Don't You do Right

Julie London

Compositor: Joe McCoy

You had plenty money in nineteen-fourty-one
You lost it all, and then where'd you run?
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 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 wanderin' now 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?
Like some other men do?
Like some other men do?
