Artista: Gramophonedzie – Canzone: Why Don’t You
Why Don’t You
You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women 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’ there and wonderin’ what it’s all about
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 twenty years ago
You wouldn’t be a-wanderin’ from door to door
Why don’t you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and 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 and get me some money too
Why don’t you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do
La canzone originaria è Why Don’t You Do Right? scritta nel 1936 da Kansas Joe McCoy e portata al successo da Peggy Lee con l’orchestra di Benny Goodman nel 1942 (video). Molti ricorderanno l’interpretazione di Amy Irving nella parte dell’esuberante Jessica Rabbit dal film d’animazione Chi ha incastrato Roger Rabbit (1988) (Video).
