What Have You Done For Me Lately

I wrote this song with Shel Silverstein\nI made up the chorus, I never did have any verses for it\nI sang it to him once so he mailed me this verse.\nWhat have you done for me lately\nIs such a common attitude\nWhat have you done for me lately\nIs how old friends show their gratitude\nNow just when you need a little support\nTheir faces get long and their memories get short\nWhat have you done for me lately\nLately I’ve been doing without you\nShe was young and beautiful and drowning\nAnd I was the only hero in the crowd\nGave her artificial respiration,\nMouth to mouth resuscitation\nTook her home and dried her out\nFed her lots of chicken soup and chocolate\nAnd tucked her right in a feather bed\nNursed her through the night and with the\nMorning light she rolled over, looked up\nAt me and said;\nWhat have you done for me lately\n'Cause lately I’ve been doing without you\nNow what have you done for me lately\nDon’t let me be misconstrued\nCast your bread on the water\nWhat do you get? Some hard luck\nStory and your bread gets wet\nWhat have you done for me lately\n'Cause lately I’ve been doing without you
