Cole, Natalie - Why Don't You Do Right? Lyrics






You have plenty money, 1922
You let other people make a fool of you
Why don't you do right,
Like some other men do?

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 outta here,
Get me some money too.

If you have repaired years ago,
You wouldn't be wondering out from door to door
Why don't you do oh oh right,
Like some other men do?

Get outta here,
And get me some money too.

Oh, yeah
You're sittin' down, wondering what it's all about
If you ain't got no money they will put you out.
Why don't you do, do, do right,
Like some other men do?

Well, I fell for your jivin' and I took you in,
And now all you got to offer me is a drink of gin.
Why don't you do right baby,
Like those other men do?

Get outta here,
And get me some money too.

I said, get outta here,
And get me some money too.

Be-do, Be-do, Be-diddle-ee, do, do, do, do, do, do, diddle-dee
Duh-wee, beh-do, beh-do, bah-bo [x4] beh-do wee.

    The Incredible Natalie Cole!  Thanks for posting.  What a great jazz singer, AND what a great arrangement & cut of “Why Don’t you Do Right”.  Per the credits listed at ArtistDirect, I’m 99% sure the Guitarist is John Chiodini, the Tenor Saxist is Pete Christlieb (I remember him dueling with Don Menza with the Louis Bellson Big Band!), and Alan Broadbent (ex-Woody Herman Thundering Herd) on Piano.  I’m pretty sure Alan Broadbent arranged this one too.  I could listen to this cut 1000 times in a row.
