Why Don't You Do Right? Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass

You had plenty money, 1922
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′ down wonderin' what it's all about
If 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 20 years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin′ now from door to door
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get-get-get-get, get out of here and get me some money too

If you had prepared 20 years ago
You wouldn′t be wanderin' now from door to door
Why don′t you do right like some other men do?
I say get out of here and get me some money too

I say get out of here and get me some money too
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
