If you want
to be a man of mine,
here's what you got to do.
Give me all the lovin' that you got,
and thrill me when I'm blue.
Mama, I'd do it all I could for you,
honey, all the time.
That's just what you've got to do,
if you want to be a man of mine
Now if I call you three times a day,
to come and drive my blues away
When you come home be ready to play,
do your duty
If I ask you for just one buck,
you don't give it to me
then you're out of luck
Don't start quack ing like a duck,
do your duty
Remember what you said
at Mrs. Brown
Don't pay me no attention, Mama,
cause I'm the lionest man in town
When I don't want to be alone,
I'll just call you over the telephone
and come yourself and don't send your
brother Jones to do your duty.
Everybody laugh and grin your face.
Don't you take them to be your friend.
Charlie Wade,
they'll nibble you in the back
or we'll be a dog gone sin.
You know, I don't believe in signs,
but here's one sign that's true.
What you do to somebody else
is coming home to you
There's one thing that's been written
Be who bite it in the back shall be bitten
If my radiator gets too hot
Cool it off and I mean a lot
Give me all the service that you got
Do your duty
If you don't know what it's all about
Don't sit around the house and pout
You know I'll start to tipping out to
Do your duty
If you make your bed hot
That's the way it lies
If I don't want to sleep by myself
Don't be so dumb, won't you realize
I don't want to make you feel blue
If I ain't satisfaction
to tell you what you do
You can get another man to help you
to do your duty
