"She Does It Right" is a song by the band Dr. Feelgood, recorded in 1974 and appearing on their debut album, Down by the Jetty.[3] The track was written by Wilko Johnson, and produced by Vic Maile.[4] The song was the band's second UK single release, following their debut "Roxette",[3] in March 1975,[3] but failed to reach the UK Singles Chart.[5] The B-side of the record, "I Don't Mind", was also penned by Johnson.[6]

The song was included in Dr. Feelgood's 1997's compilation album, Twenty Five Years of Dr. Feelgood.[3]

In a 2016 interview with Johnson, Songwriting Magazine described the track as "three and a half minutes of proto-punk heaven."[1] He recorded the song again for his 2017 album I Keep It To Myself: The Best of Wilko Johnson.[7]
