[Verse 1]

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 2]

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

[Saxophone 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

I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
