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
Writer(s): Donald Jay Fagen, Walter Carl Becker
