Steely Dan - Dirty Work lyrics

rate me

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

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS
