Oh you can't do wrong and get by No matter how hard you may try So just do what you please and try to feel at ease For you can't do wrong and get by No hypocrite can do wrong and get by No matter how hard you may try Salvation you say you've got but God knows you've not So you can't do wrong and get by No liar can do wrong and get by No matter how hard you may try For when you have to die you can't tell a single lie And you can't do wrong and get by No drunkard can do wrong and get by No matter how hard you may try When you get so many drinks you may get by you think But you can't do wrong and get by
