"Why Don't You Do Right"
(Kansas Joe McCoy)

You had plenty money, Nineteen-Fifty-Two
You let other people 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' here wonderin' what it's all about
If you don't get some, I'm gonna put you out
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get off and get out of here and get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' from door to door
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
I'm not fool and get out of here and get me some money too

[Orchestral break]

If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' from door to door
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
I mean and 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
