Dirty Work Songtext
von Steely Dan

Times are hard
You′re afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free

When you need a bit of lovin'
′Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I′ll be around

I′m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work, no more
I′m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah


Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before

Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same

I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don′t wanna do your dirty work, no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

I′m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work, no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

I don′t wanna do your dirty work, no more
I′m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
