Do Your Duty

Lyrics

If I call three times a day, baby
 Come and drive my blues away
 When you come, be ready to play
 Do your duty
 If you want to have some luck
 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, baby
 Yesterday at Mrs Brown's
 I don't believe a word she said
 She's the loudest woman in town, oh babe
 When I need attention at home
 I'll just call you on the telephone
 Come yourself, don't send your friend Jones
 Do your duty
 ♪
 If my radiator gets too hot
 Cool it off in a lotsa spot
 Give me all the service you've got
 Do your duty
 If you don't know what it's all about
 Don't stand around my house and pout
 Do you catch your mama kippin' out?
 Do your duty
 As you make your own bad heart
 That's the way o' life
 You bunk out, I'm sleepin' by myself
 You're too dumb to realise, oh babe
 I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue
 I'm not satisfied with the way that you do
 I've got to help you find somebody to
 Do your duty
