Lyrics of Dirty Work by Steely Dan
verse
Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
verse
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
verse
Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
verse
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same
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
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
outro
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
