Steely Dan Lyrics
"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 loving, cuz your man is out of town.
That's the time you get me running, 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 a castle in his corner, in a mid-evil game,
I forsee 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...

(Saxaphone solo)

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...
