You had plenty money in 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, 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
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here, 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, 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, get me some money too.
