"Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is a song by English rock band 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, as usual, to Lennon/McCartney. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is short and simple; 1 minute 42 seconds 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.
