Why Don't You Do Right? Songtext / Lyric

Why Don't You Do Right

Performed by Peggy Lee



You had plenty of 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 wonderin' what it's all about

You ain't got no money that will put you out



(Repeat *)



If you had prepared 20 years ago

You wouldn't be a-wanderin' now from door to door



(Repeat *)



I fell for you jiving and I took you in

Now all you've got to offer me is a drink of gin



(Repeat *)
