How Do You Do It, Mabel, On Twenty Dollars A Week?
Berlin Irving [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
