WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD
"Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is a song by the Beatles released on their 1968 album The Beatles, commonly referred to as "the White Album". It was written and sung by Paul McCartney, but credited to Lennon–McCartney. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is short and simple; 1:42 of twelve-bar blues that begins with three different percussion elements (a hand banging on the back of an acoustic guitar, handclaps, and drums) and features McCartney's increasingly raucous vocal repeating a simple lyric with only two different lines.

But it was on The Beatles (“the White Album”) where George Harrison really shone both as a performer and as a songwriter. By contrast, much of the Lennon/McCartney material were story songs about animals – Harrison also wrote one of these, "Piggies" – and throwaways like "Why Don't We Do it in the Road".
