John Lee Hooker - Baby How Can You Do It? Lyrics

(John Lee Hooker)

Well, you take my money, you call it chicken feed
Take my money and you throw it around
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it,
Throw my money around?

Well I work hard ever'day,
As a man s'pose to do
Take my money, bring it home to you
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it,
Throw my money around?

I done 'round? Yes, yes
I done told you once,
I ain't gon' tell you no more
Next time I tell you,
I got to let you down
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it,
Throw my money around?

Well, my mama told her papa,
Told me too
If you weren't no good for me,
Why don't'cha' let you go
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it,
Throw my money around?

Hmm
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it?
Baby, how can you do it,
Throw my money around?
