Why Don't You Do Right
Peggy Lee with the Benny Goodman Orchestra

Written by Joe McCoy

Peaked at # 4 in 1943
From the film "Stage Door Canteen"


You had a'plenty money nineteen twenty-two
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 wond'rin' 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 wand'rin' 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



I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you've 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?
