Do Your Duty |
| If I call three times a day |
| Come and drive my blues away |
| When you come, be ready to play |
| Do your duty |
| If you want to have some love |
| Give your baby your last buck |
| Don’t come quackin' like a duck |
| Do your duty |
| I heard you say you didn’t love me |
| Numb as Mrs. Brown |
| I don’t believe a word they say |
| She’s the lyinest woman in town |
| When I need attention at home |
| I’ll call you on the phone |
| Come yourself, don’t send your friend Jones |
| Do your duty |
| If my radiator get too hot |
| Cool it off in lots of spots |
| Give me all the service you’ve got |
| Do your duty |
| If you don’t know what it’s all about |
| Don’t sit around my house and pout |
| If you do you’ll catch your mama tippin' now |
| Do your duty |
| If you make your own bed hard |
| That’s the way o' life |
| I’m tired of sleepin' by myself |
| But you too dumb to realize |
| I’m not tryin' to make you feel blue |
| I’m not satisfied with the way you do |
| I’ve got to help you find somebody too |
| Do your duty |
