Lyrics

[00:08.10] If I call three times a day baby
[00:12.33] Come and drive my blue away
[00:16.07] When you come,be ready to play
[00:20.01] Do your duty
[00:24.33] If you want to have some love
[00:28.14] Give your baby your last buck
[00:32.39] Don't come quackin' like a duck
[00:36.36] Do your duty
[00:40.40] I heard you said you didn't love me,baby
[00:44.31] You did miss your friend
[00:47.75] I don't believe a word she said
[00:52.26] She's the lyinest woman in town
[00:55.12] Oh babe,when I need attention at home
[01:00.06] I'll just call you on the telephone
[01:04.74] Come yourself,don't send your friend Jones
[01:09.35] Do your duty
[01:12.89]
[01:33.13]
[02:17.77] If my radiator gets too hot
[02:22.29] Cool it off in lots of spots
[02:26.39] Give me all the service you've got
[02:30.59] Do your duty
[02:34.62] If you don't know what it's all about
[02:38.79] Don't sit around my house and pout
[02:43.05] If you do you'll cath your mama tippin' now
[02:46.96] Do your duty
[02:51.11] If you make your own bed hard
[02:55.32] That's the way it lies
[02:58.95] I'm tired of sleepin' by myself
[03:03.16] But you're too dumb to realize
[03:06.03] I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue
[03:11.43] I'm not satisfied with the way you do
[03:15.42] I've got to help you find somebody too
[03:19.47] Do your duty
[03:22.97]
[03:25.89]
[03:26.76]
