Dirty Work
Steely Dan Dirty Work
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.
