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 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 [Bridge: sax solo] [Chorus, fades out] 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....
