Intro

    
    
      

Verse

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  

Verse

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

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  

Sax Solo

       

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  
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more

Outro Fade

I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
