The name of the song is "Why Don't You Do Right?"

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 mon - ey 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 mon - ey 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 mon - ey too.
