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 running, 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 no more
