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?
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
Performance
