You had plenty money, 1922You let other women make a fool of youWhy don't you do right, like some other men do?Get out of here and get me some money tooYou're sittin' there and wonderin' what it's all aboutYou ain't got no money, they will put you outWhy don't you do right, like some other men do?Get out of here and get me some money tooIf you had prepared twenty years agoYou wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to doorWhy don't you do right, like some other men do?Get out of here and get me some money tooI fell for your jivin' and I took you inNow all you got to offer me's a drink of ginWhy don't you do right, like some other men do?Get out of here and get me some money tooWhy don't you do right, like some other men do?Like some other men do Great tune.This poast was brought about by Pat Bowie "Feelin' Good" LP on Prestige, where she, Charles McPherson, Al Hall, Osie Johnson and Tommy Flanagan bang out a superb take on the tune.And then, yes, I youtube'd the Jessica Rabbit version!What's your favorite version?

mark murphy! so good.
Lil Green
co-sign. Had this version on some budget blues comp cassette
back in my teens, that formed the basis of much of my blues love,
before it disintegrated after 789,001 listens.
There is a nice Johnny Otis version from the 70s or 80s. Might be on Alligator or Flying Fish. Duet.
You're not far off. Betty has a cameo:
Have not heard. I'm not a big Mark Murphy fan (please don't ban). I'm interested to hear how a guy would sing this song.
It's really early Mark Murphy. If you're not a fan of his later, more "ornate" style this won't bug you. It swings. Real big with the Mod scene.
