| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | How Do You Do It Mabel On Twenty Dollars A Week | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 64 | | | | Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Mabel Brown came to town
All dress'd up in her gingham gown
And a ribbon
in her hair
In her eyes a vacant stare
Joined a show, wrote her beau
Mabel wanted to
let him know
She was earning, so to speak
Twenty dollars a week
Her beau came down to
New York town
To see his Mabel dear
The minute that he saw her flat
He whispered in
her ear
[chorus:]
How do you do it, Mabel, on twenty dollars a week?
Tell us
how you are able on twenty dollars a week
A fancy flat and a diamond bar
Twenty hats and a
motor car
Go right to it but how do you do it
On twenty dollars a week?
[2nd
verse:]
Mabel's beau couldn't go
Hung around for a week or so
Till he'd written on a
pad
All the things that Mabel had
When he'd spent ev'ry cent
Right to Mabel he
quickly went
For a small financial loan
Then he started for home
Each girl he met
down home, you bet
He told them all he saw
Next day a mob were on the job
At Mabel's
flat to roar
[2nd chorus:]
How do you do it, Mabel, on twenty dollars a
week?
Tell us how you are able on twenty dollars a week
We'd like to work in the chorus
too
Earn our twenty the same as you
If we knew it, we'd willingly do it
On twenty
dollars a week | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
