Steely Dan - Dirty Work [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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....
