It's A Dirty Job

It's a Dirty Job Koko Taylor (with Lonnie Brooks)

Koko Taylor!
My good friend
I'm glad to see you
'Cause I'm broke again

Lonnie Brooks
I know what's on your mind
But not today, baby
Maybe some other time

I went out with Mr. Universe
In a chauffeured Rolls-Royce
I drew the short straw
I didn't have no choice
Billy Dee Williams calls me
Tell him I'm not at home
Easy come, easy go
Just want to be left alone

All these men keep chasin' me
When you get right down to it
It's a dirty job, baby
But somebody got to do it

My empty wallet
Was makin' me kinda nervous
So I went and took a job
With an escort service
Takin' out rich old ladies
Is really all right
But I'm on the menu
Again tonight

I bit it off
I guess I'll have to chew it
Koko: 'Cause it's a dirty job, baby
Both: Somebody's got to do it

This pretty face of mine
Has always been a curse
But lately, baby
Things get worse and worse

Women call me up
Ask, "Let's go out and dance"
But all they wanna do is get
In my pants

One night off
I think I'll spend alone
Just be cool
And disconnect the phone
Lay back in my easy chair
Turn on the TV
When a man came on
Said, "You won the lottery"

I was trying to be cool
But I guess I blew it
'Cause it's a dirty job, baby
Somebody's got to do it

It's a dirty job
It's a dirty job
It's a dirty job
I wanna do it, Koko
Somebody got to do it
Would you let me do it
Come on, Lonnie Brooks
Oh yeah!
Just get to it
It's a dirty job
It's a dirty job
I wanna to it
It's a dirty job
Let me do it
Hey, hey, hey It's a dirty job
Oh! Koko Taylor -- Come on, let me do it!
Lonnie Brooks!
Koko Taylor! Lonnie Brooks!
Koko Taylor!
Lonnie Brooks!
Koko Taylor!
