Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money, Too) - Choral Arrangement for SATB and Piano arranged by Michael Thomas Coull

Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too!) was originally recorded as Weed Smoker's Dream and is an American blues and jazz-influenced pop song written by ‘Kansas Joe’ McCoy and Herb Morand in 1936.  Both men are given composer credits on the original 78 record label, although Morand’s name is misspelled. 

In 1936, the Harlem Hamfats recorded the Weed Smoker’s Dream.  Band member Joe McCoy later rewrote the song, refining both the composition and lyrics.  The new tune, titled Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too!), was recorded by Lil Green in 1941, with guitar by William ‘Big Bill’ Broonzy.  The minor key twelve-bar blues song, with a few chord substitutions, proved popular and quickly became a jazz standard. 

With its roots in blues music, the song originally dealt with a marijuana smoker reminiscing about lost financial opportunities.  After it was rewritten, it took on the perspective of the female partner, chastising her man for his irresponsible ways:  ‘Why don't you do right, like some other men do?  Get out of here and get me some money too!’

A wonderful bluesy arrangement for full SATB choir with piano accompaniment, not just fun for the choir to sing, but also one the audience will really enjoy too.

        Deep in the heart of Dingle Woods everyone is preparing for Christmas. On a
tree stump Barny the barn owl wakes from his slumbers, winks, blinks and toowit-toowoos.
Woody the little fir tree is feeling very sorry for himself, bemoaning the fact that all of
his leafy friends have been taken by the townspeople for their Christmas festivities and
even the late arrival of Jack Frost, a most exuberant character, finds it difficult to lift our
little friend’s spirit with his cheerful banter.
         And so our fir tree resigns himself to make the best of Christmas Eve as all
the forest creatures hurry off home to prepare for the coming celebrations. However,
things take a sudden turn when he overhears the fox and weasel devising a cunning plan
to make a pile of money, by going into the ‘Wholesale Toy Business’.
      Of course when others hear about the plan, Woody becomes nominated to
save Christmas and sets out on his adventure, with a little help from the Christmas Fairy,
Snowy White the snowman and Gordon the Garden Gnome, along with other forest
friends. Needless to say Foxy and Weazy get their just deserts, but just how this comes
about, will have to remain a secret until ............


This album includes the Piano & Vocal Score along with the full Libretto.
